Donald Payne: Cut loose by Washington

Washington waived Payne on Saturday.

Payne played in nine games for the Jaguars last year, averaging 39 defensive snaps per contest while recording 61 total tackles. The 26-year-old linebacker couldn't leverage that experience into a roster spot, though. He'll look to carve out a depth role elsewhere, but he could land on Washington's practice squad if that doesn't work out.
