Report: Redskins decline Reuben Foster’s 5th year option

The Washington Redskins have reportedly declined the 5th year option for LB Reuben Foster. The former 49ers 1st round pick was picked up off of waivers after San Francisco decided to cut ties with him following another domestic violence incident with his ex-girlfriend(charges were later dropped). Foster did not play for the Redskins in 2018 while he was on the Commissioner’s Exempt List.

He came into OTAs last May looking to make a good impression on coaches and teammates. Instead he was carted off the field after suffering a serious knee injury that involved nerve damage.
