The Redskins were thinking about making a change at center anyway, so they figured they’d save some money.
According to Mike Jones of the Washington Post, the Redskins are releasing center Will Montgomery, a move which will save them $1.9 million worth of cap room.
The team was thinking about moving guard Kory Lichtensteiger to the middle last year, and that’s the likely move in response, after they signed guard Shawn Luavao in free agency.
Montgomery, a former seventh-round pick of the Panthers, has also played for the Jets, but settled into a niche with the Redskins, starting every game the last three seasons.
