McGee was released by the Redskins on Wednesday, Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports reports.
McGee missed half of the past season while recovering from a groin injury, appearing in only eight games and racking up nine tackles (seven solo) and one sack. Though McGee ended the season healthy, the Redskins will cut the 29-year-old with the aim of freeing up cap space. McGee, who inked a five-year, $25 million deal with Washington in March 2017, will likely have to settle for much less favorable contract terms on the open market this time around.
