Axe Wednesday: 'Skins release 16 players including McNabb, Moss, & Portis.

LANDOVER, MD-- The Washington Redskins have lowered the boom on serveral vets today.

With the offseason in full swing, the 'Skins have led the way with their roster changes. A grand total 16 players were released today including the man they traded for last offseason, Donavon McNabb. Other notables include former mainstays Clinton Portis, Santana Moss, Mike Sellers, & Carlos Rogers.

"We have to reset this thing if we have any chance of being able to better the future of the team." says GM Bruce Allen. This approch is a change from the Redskins more recent history of keeping vets on the roster for hopes of them still being viable. "We can't look at this as a win now kinda thing anymore. I want something the Redskins have never had in its long history. Longevity."

No word on if there will be more releases to come in the coming days.

Full List of Released Players:
QB Donavon McNabb
QB Rex Grossman
HB Clinton Portis
HB Willie Parker
FB Mike Sellers
WR Santana Moss
WR Bobby Wade
TE Steve Ryan
C Casey Rabach
RG Will Montgomery
DT Henry Green
LOLB Chris Wilson
MLB H.B Blades
CB Carlos Rogers
CB Phillip Buchanon
FS Reed Doughty
