Redskins Get Down To 53
And here it is, the 32nd and final team’s roster cuts. Their most notable release was the previously announced cutting of former first-round pick Josh Doctson. Of the stuff that’s new, not much is shocking. A couple of years ago, 2017 fourth-round running back Samaje Perine was hyped up as a potential future starter. The Oklahoma product, who had 603 rushing yards as a rookie, was cut today.
Veteran receiver Brian Quick, who had 564 yards with the Rams in 2016, was let go as well. Washington also parted ways with cornerback Adonis Alexander, a Virginia Tech product who they drafted in the sixth round of the 2018 Supplemental Draft.
Here are the rest of the moves:

Lions Bring In 16 UDFAs
One of the last UDFA contingents to be unveiled, the Lions have announced their 16-man group. Here’s the full rundown:
- Al-Rasheed Benton, LB (West Virginia)
- Amari Coleman, CB (Central Michigan)
- Antwuan Davis, CB (Texas)
- Josh Fatu, DT (USC)
- Mike Ford, CB (Southeast Missouri)
- DeAndre Goolsby, TE (Florida)
- Chris Jones, CB (Nebraska)
- Kyle Lewis, WR (Cal Poly)
- Chad Meredith, LB (Southeast Missouri)
- John Montelus, OL (Virginia)
- Beau Nunn, OL (Appalachian State)
- Brandon Powell, WR (Florida)
- Teo Redding, WR (Bowling Green)
- Ryan Santoso, P (Minnesota)
- Anthony Sherrils, S (Missouri)
- JoJo Wicker, DL (Arizona State)
This class interestingly houses two members of Southeast Missouri’s most recent defense. Ford led the Redhawks with 14 passes defensed last season and finished with 28 bench press reps at his pro day. Meredith was a first-team all-conference performer as a junior in 2016. Having started 41 career games at Appalachian State, Nunn finished last season with the fewest pressures allowed among full-time Division I-FBS players.
Detroit will bring in four cornerbacks after not using one of its six draft choices at this spot. The Lions did add former Seahawks corner DeShawn Shead in free agency and have 2017 second- and fifth-round picks Teez Tabor and Jamal Agnew on their roster.
