Washington likely moving on from starting OT Morgan Moses

The Washington Football Team .

NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Tuesday that the club is likely moving on from longtime starting tackle Morgan Moses, giving him the ability to seek a trade, per sources informed of the situation.

Moses is due $7.75 million in 2021, the full sum of which would travel with him in any trade. Washington would clear that from the salary cap with $1.9 million in dead money by moving on. The starting tackle is under contract in 2022 for an additional $7.75 million.

Washington could release the offensive tackle if it can't find a trade partner, per Rapoport.

A third-round pick in 2014, Moses has started every game since his second season, 96 straight regular-season affairs, and has played through some injuries.

The 30-year-old remains one of the better tackles in the NFL. Pro Football Focus graded Moses as its 15th-ranked offensive tackle in 2020. He's a better run than pass blocker at this stage of his career, allowing a career-high 41 pressures last season.

Moving on from Moses would continue Washington's revamping of the O-line this offseason, which included trading for guard Ereck Flowers, signing tackle Charles Leno Jr. and drafting tackle Samuel Cosmi in the second round.
