Roster move: Commanders release CB D.J. Hayden

Just yesterday, I published an article that talked about D.J. Hayden, so maybe it’s my fault he got released today.

For anyone who missed yesterday’s article, here’s what I had to say about the veteran defensive back:

D.J. Hayden was signed by the Commanders in December, and then signed a future contract in January. Hayden is an 8-year veteran with essentially the same skillset as [CB Darryl] Roberts, meaning that there is really no reason for the team to have both of them on the roster.

I wrote more extensively about Hayden when he was signed in January.
