That means WR Maurice Harris and RB Rob Kelley are now free agents. Maurice Harris got a big opportunity to shine last year due to injuries to starters Jamison Crowder and Paul Richardson. He started 7 games Charley Taylor Jersey , but finished the season with 28 catches for 304 yards and 0 TDs. He has also had issues staying healthy every season. Harris is reportedly getting interest from a few teams.Rob Kelley is an average RB who got thrust into a starting role. The undrafted free agent missed the majority of the season last year with a toe injury that landed him on injured reserve. The Redskins have been looking to upgrade Fat Rob, drafting Samaje Perine and Derrius Guice in back to back drafts, then signing Adrian Peterson after Guice tore his ACL. Peterson just re-signed today, Guice will be back this season, and the team still has Perine and Chris Thompson. Rob Kelley is the odd man out.WR Maurice Harris/RB Rob KelleyThe Redskins did tender Exclusive Rights Free Agent RB Byron Marshall and he is back with the team for now. Marshall went to IR last season, but was chosen as one of the team's two players that could return. He was kept instead of fan favorite Kapri Bibbs. Marshall is a long-shot to make the team unless they move on from Samaje Perine.RB Byron Marshall Dropped from multiple draft boards due to a heart condition John Riggins Jersey , rookie pass-rusher Montez Sweat remained high on the board in Washington — and he’ll be on the field plenty in 2019.“I have no doubt that he’s going to play a lot,” Washington coach Jay Gruden told reporters on Saturday regarding Sweat, who was acquired after Washington traded back into round one with the Colts. “The skillset that he has is quite evident. You see his length and then you watch him run after practice and he’s faster than anybody we have probably right now. He has great length, great speed. Now, it’s just a matter of transitioning into the defense — both base and sub-fronts. So, we’ll see how he does but definitely impressed with him Russ Grimm Jersey , with the athletic body of work that he has. Now, it’s a matter of getting him ready mentally and working on the fundamentals to go along with playing outside linebacker and defensive end in sub [packages].”At least one of the teams that removed him from the board for health reasons nevertheless regarded him as the best pass rusher in the draft. Sweat’s speed had something to do with that assessment.“He’s just fast,” Gruden said of the guy who ran a 4.41-second 40-yard dash at the Scouting Combine. “He’s fast. He eats up ground when he runs. It’s like three strides and he’s all the way across the field and it’s crazy.”It’s not crazy to think of the kind of steal Washington will have gotten — and some teams may end up thinking it was crazy to take him off the board — if the heart condition detected at the Scouting Combine ends up being a non-issue.
