ASHBURN, Va. -- Veteran safety Troy Vincent was cut Thursday by the Washington Redskins, saving the team about $1.3 million in salary cap space.



The Redskins signed Vincent six games into the 2006 season after free agent acquisition Adam Archuleta's early struggles, but the five-time Pro Bowl player failed to make much of an impact on the NFC's worst defense.



Vincent, 35, started three games, missed two with a hamstring injury, then returned as a reserve for the final two. His biggest play came on special teams, when he blocked a field goal in the final minute of a win over Dallas.



Vincent, who is the president of the NFL Players Association, began 2006 with Buffalo but was placed on injured reserve after hurting his hamstring in the season opener. The Bills later released him, and he signed a three-year, $3.9 million contract with the Redskins in October.



Vincent has 47 career interceptions and is best known for his years as a standout cornerback with Philadelphia from 1996-2003.

Don't worry, I'm not posting this to say that I want him. I'm just posting the info.

I think this guy, although he's old, is better than many starting safety's in the league.

Vincent was the man a couple years ago for the Eagles. He left and Brian Dawkins became the guy. Vincent, Dawkins, Bobby Taylor. they were good.

But now, nope don't want the guy. At that age the league minimum probably isn't that low. He'll want too much.

Didn't he play for the Pats also,,,, like in a Superbowl?

Only at a reduced rate, would i think about bringing him in. If even that, we need CB, and his days at corner might be behind him...
