The Washington Redskins have released Pro Bowl kick returner Jerome Mathis.

It’s a curious move by the Redskins, given that they had signed Mathis earlier this month and were excited for his contributions to their special teams unit.

Mathis was the only player from another team to sign with the Redskins this offseason, an extremely rare occurence given Washington’s usual dealing with free agents.

In a corresponding move, the team signed undrafted rookie defensive end J.T. Mapu.
