The Redskins were reportedly trying to create a trade deal for tight end Fred Davis, and there were even speculations that if he was not traded, he would be cut from the team. However, today marked the passing of the trade deadline, and no news of the deal has come in.
Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk wrote via Twitter: “With the trade deadline less than a day away, the Redskins are trying hard to make a deal. Per a league source, Washington hopes to trade tight end Fred Davis…The Redskins, according to the source, are aggressively shopping Davis. If a deal can’t be worked out, there’s a chance Davis will be cut. If he’s cut after the trade deadline, Davis will be subject to waivers.”
Rookie Jordan Reed could have something to do with Davis’s supposed trade, as Reed has had a successful few games, while Davis has shown a weak performance thus far.
