The Washington Redskins are making salary-cap room by releasing linebacker Zach Brown and defensive lineman Stacy McGee.

A person with knowledge of the decision says the team informed Brown he was being released. A second person says the team informed McGee he was being released. The people spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Wednesday because the team hadn't announced the moves.

Cutting Brown and McGee clears more than $8 million of salary-cap space.

Brown, 29, had two seasons left on a $21 million, three-year contract he signed with Washington last spring.
