Adam Schefter reports that the Commanders are releasing DB Bobby McCain and will save $4.42 million against the cap.
McCain, 29, is a former fifth-round pick by the Dolphins in the 2015 NFL Draft. He was entering the final year of a four-year, $2.508 million rookie contract when the Dolphins signed him to a four-year extension worth $27 million, including $13 million guaranteed.
McCain was set to make base salaries of $6.375 million and $6.975 million over the final two years of his deal when the Dolphins released him. He signed a one-year deal with Washington for the 2021 NFL season.
He then signed a two-year, $11 million deal with the Commanders back in March of 2022.
In 2022, McCain appeared in all 17 games for the Commanders and recorded 76 total tackles, five pass breakups, and one forced fumble.
