No team can save more money via making a cut at the tight end position this year than the Washington Redskins thanks to Jordan Reed’s contract.
As noted in the tweet above from Spotrac, Reed leads the way in all potential savings with an $8.5 million mark.
Reed is on the book for a cap hit north of $9 million in each of the next two seasons as he heads into his age-30 season. He missed all of this past year after suffering an injury in the preseason, besides the obvious missed time in the years prior.
There is a reality where the high-upside tight end decides to hang up the cleats outright this offseason after another concussion.
While the Redskins aren’t hurting in projected offseason cap right now (about $40 million), it wouldn’t hurt to free up another sizeable chunk.
