The Redskins are releasing defensive lineman Stacy McGee, a source tells Mike Garafolo of NFL.com (on Twitter). The Redskins tried to shop McGee on the trade block, but were unable to find a suitable deal. 
McGee joined the Redskins on a five-year, $25MM contract prior to the 2017 season and appeared in all 16 games (ten starts) for the club in his first year, managing 44 tackles in the process. In 2018, however, he was held back by a June thigh surgery. Playing hurt and in a reserve role, McGee had just nine tackles and one sack in his eight games. Ultimately, McGee was overshadowed by a D-Line that also included Jonathan Allen, Da’Ron Payne, Matt Ioannidis, Tim Settle, and Caleb Brantley.
McGee will now have the opportunity to shop himself to other interested clubs, though he’ll probably fall short of his previous $5MM/year AAV.
Perfect buy-low candidate for New England!
Provided he is in shape and healthy
Surprise there were no nibbles on a capable $5m/year edge rusher. Those frequently injured sometimes excellent players are not commanding a premium these years.
Edge rusher? He’s a 340 lb tackle
