According to Mark Maske, Washington WR Cody Latimer has been placed by the NFL on the commissioner’s exempt list.
Latimer was arrested for numerous charges, including second-degree assault, back in May, so this allows him not to count against Washington’s roster limit while the legal process works out.
Latimer will be paid, but won’t practice with the team. He signed in Washington as a free agent this offseason.
Latimer, 27, is a former second-round pick of the Broncos back in 2014. He played out the final year of his four-year, $3,708,650 rookie contract before agreeing to a one-year, $2.5 million contract with the Giants in 2018.
Latimer re-signed to a one-year deal with New York last year and was testing the market as an unrestricted free agent before agreeing to a contract with the Redskins a few months ago.
In 2019, Latimer appeared in 15 games and recorded 24 receptions for 300 yards receiving (12.5 YPC) and two touchdowns, to go along with 570 kickoff return yards.
