Albert Haynesworth remains with Redskins; so do questions (SportingNews.com)
|
Chances of Albert Haynesworth being cut Saturday by the Washington Redskins were slim. And now it appears the only thing less likely is Haynesworth being a starter in the team's season opener. According to The Washington Post, the disgruntled defensive tackle is being ripped liberally for his preseason performance. The Post's Jason Reid quotes two team sources who reviewed Haynesworth's action in the exhibition finale against the Arizona Cardinals.

NFL cutdown day: AFC South (SportingNews.com)
|
Teams had until 5 p.m. ET Sept. 4 to reach the NFL-mandated 53-player roster limit. Here's a team-by-team look from SN's correspondents at cuts and other decisions by teams in the division: Houston Texans Coach Gary Kubiak called it "the toughest decision I've had to make" when he kept kicker Neil Rackers over Kris Brown, the last original Texan. Brown was 4-of-5 on field-goals attempts in preseason, and his only miss was a 56-yarder.

Leinart, Houshmandzadeh released as NFL teams trim to 53 (SportingNews.com)
|
Matt Leinart might get a second chance, but for the Arizona Cardinals he was a first-round bust. The team released Leinart on Saturday, marking another career setback for the 10th pick of the 2006 draft and the 2004 Heisman Trophy winner. Another team may sign Leinart as a backup quarterback -- perhaps the Seattle Seahawks, for whom his former college coach, Pete Carroll, is now the head coach. However, Leinart's inability to beat out Derek Anderson for the Cardinals' starting job raises the question whether Leinart will ever be good enough to start...

Houshmandzadeh will be picked up quickly (SportingNews.com)
|
Don’t expect veteran wide receiver T. J. Houshmandzadeh to be out of work for long, after being cut by the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday. Several teams in need of wide receiver help could be interested, including the Washington Redskins and Minnesota Vikings. The Seahawks’ decision to cut Houshmandzadeh, who turns 33 later this month, was about finances as much as performance. The Seahawks signed him to a five-year, $40 million contract last year and will end up paying him about $15 million for one season of play, but they decided they weren’t willing to pay...
