Deshazor Everett: Released by Washington
The Commanders released Everett (personal) on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
With the combination of Washington's need to shed salary cap after the acquisition of Wentz and Everett's offseason legal issues, this transaction was inevitable. A resolution on whether the 29-year-old safety will be able to resume his football career may not come for several months, so his status for 2022 is certainly in question.

Deshazor Everett: Dealing with injury
Washington have released Everett (undisclosed) with a non-football injury designation, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Everett being cut by the Commanders comes with multiple layers of context. Not only is the team in need of more cap space, but Everett is also injured, and facing offseason legal issues that could impact his availability for 2022, if not his NFL career. It may be multiple months until clarity on Everett's situation arrives.

Commanders' Deshazor Everett: Faces manslaughter charge
The Loudoun County (Va.) Magistrate's Office charged Everett on Tuesday with involuntary manslaughter stemming from his involvement in a Dec. 23 car accident, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
He was charged after the Loudoun County Sheriff's department's investigation determined that he was driving at "over twice the posted 45-mile-per-hour speed limit just prior to the crash," which resulted in the death of his girlfriend, who was a passenger in his vehicle. Everett escaped the accident with non-life-threatening injuries, but still missed Washington's last three games of the season while he was on the non-football injury list. In a statement, his attorney said he plans to "vigorously defend Mr. Everett against these allegations," which suggests resolution on whether the 29-year-old safety will be able to resume his football career may not come for several months.

Football Team's Deshazor Everett: Moved to reserve/NFI list
Everett (personal) was placed on the reserve/non-football injury list Friday.
The move comes as little surprise following news that Everett suffered serious injuries in a single-vehicle accident Thursday night. Though the safety's injuries are said to be non-life-threatening, a female passenger in the vehicle did not survive. Given that context, thoughts about Everett's potential return to action should be secondary to the tragic consequences of the accident.

Everett (undisclosed) is off the non-football injury list and practicing Tuesday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Football Team's Deshazor Everett: Starts six games before pec injury
Everett (pectoral) started six of his 11 games in 2020, recording 31 tackles (23 solo), four pass defenses and a forced fumble on 355 defensive snaps.
Everett opened the season seeing nearly all of his work on special teams, after playing only 173 defensive snaps in 23 games between 2018 and 2019. He then moved into a starting job Week 6, taking over for a slumping Troy Apke at free safety. A week later, strong safety Landon Collins suffered a torn Achilles, opening up a spot for rookie Kamren Curl alongside Everett. The seventh-round pick became an IDP asset, while Everett averaged only 4.7 tackles in six starts before suffering a season-ending injury (pectoral) of his own. He'll turn 29 in February and has two seasons remaining on his contract, but there is some chance Washington releases Everett this offseason -- a move that would clear out approximately $1.4 million in cap space.
