The Washington Commanders released quarterback Carson Wentz on Monday, in a move that had been long expected.
The move saves Washington $26.176 million on the salary cap this offseason. Wentz had two years remaining on his contract but had no guaranteed money.
The Commanders also released defensive back Bobby McCain on Monday, saving $2.32 million on the salary cap. If he's designated as a post-June 1 release, the Commanders would save $4.42 million.
Wentz can now sign with any team before the start of free agency. Frank Reich, his former coach with the Indianapolis Colts -- also his ex-offensive coordinator with the Philadelphia Eagles, is now the head coach with the Carolina Panthers.
