Redskins release FS Montae Nicholson, four other cornerbacks

It’s a new era in Washington, and whether you enjoyed or lamented at the Washington Redskins free agency strategy this past week, that truth was apparent. Contrary to the Redskins’ historic habits, Ron Rivera’s team was frugal in the free agent market. When their splash signings didn’t materialize, the team instead settled for low-risk, high-upside hires that largely went under the radar. The process of adding talent isn’t over yet, but it seems as though the pedal won’t hit the floor again for a while.

Now, with a new batch of talent in the fold, the Redskins can start to fine tune their 90-man roster and make room for rookie additions.
