The Facts: The Redskins' cuts have begun. RB Rock Cartwright, OG Randy Thomas and WR Antwaan Randle El are among the Redskins who are being released today, according to the Washington Post.
Diehards Line:Last season, after Clinton Portis and Ladell Betts were lost to injuries, Cartwright saw some time in the backfield, finishing the year with 228 yards on 64 carries. It was the most action he'd seen at RB since 2003, his second year in the league. ... Randle El's departure suggests the new coaching staff believes Malcolm Kelly and Devin Thomas are ready to join Santana Moss at the top of the receiving rotation.
