Washington Redskins TE Jordan Reed’s (toes) contract may not be renewed next season if he can’t stay on the field in 2018. The Redskins would save more than $6.1 million in salary cap space by letting Reed go. On the bright side, head coach Jay Gruden said he is on track to be ready for training camp.
Footballguys View: Back in 2016 Reed signed a six-year, $48 million contract with $22 million guaranteed. During the last two years, Reed has only appeared in 18 games…and only six last year due to injury. Everyone under the sun knows he’s a talented prospect when healthy, but staying on the field has been a real problem for Reed since he came into the league as a third-round pick out of Florida in 2013. He’s a TE1 when healthy, but Reed comes with a huge injury risk having never played a full 16-game season during his pro career.
