The Washington Football Team has granted longtime starting right tackle Morgan Moses permission to seek a trade, a source confirmed.
Washington would save $7.75 million in salary cap space whether it trades or releases Moses, no matter if it's before or after June 1. He would count $1.9 million in dead cap room.
Washington signed left tackle Charles Leno Jr., earlier this month and drafted tackle Samuel Cosmi in the second round. Leno made 93 consecutive starts at left tackle for Chicago before being released following the draft. Washington coach Ron Rivera said Cosmi could play left or right tackle -- he worked at both spots during last weekend's minicamp -- but they clearly didn't select him to have him sit all season.
