09/04/2010 - Ashburn, VA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Washington Redskins released 21 players from their roster as part of Saturday's "cut-down day" maneuvers, including three who won Super Bowl rings with the Pittsburgh Steelers back in 2008.

Running back Willie Parker, fullback Carey Davis and safety Tyrone Carter, each members of the 2008 Steelers team that would defeat the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII, failed to catch on with the Mike Shanahan regime in Washington.

Parker, the three-time 1,000-yard rusher and two-time Pro Bowler, was unable to crack a crowded Redskins depth chart already including Clinton Portis and Larry Johnson.

Also released were wide receiver Terrence Austin, quarterback Richard Bartel, offensive tackle Selvish Capers, offensive lineman Erik Cook, linebacker Curtis Gatewood, nose tackle Howard Green, linebacker Robert Henson, wide receiver Shay Hodge, linebacker Rob Jackson, tackle Clint Oldenburg, offensive lineman Chad Rinehart, cornerback Ramzee Robinson, tackle William Robinson, safety Anderson Russell, defensive end Darrion Scott, running back Ryan Torain, tight end Lee Vickers and wide receiver Bobby Wade.

Notables among that group include the team's final three 2010 draft picks - Austin, Capers, and Cook - who were all seventh-round selections of the club back in April and could re-appear as part of the Washington practice squad.

Among veterans, Rinehart opened four games for the Redskins last season; Henson appeared in six contests with Washington in 2009; and Wade was a six-game starter with the Kansas City Chiefs a year ago

Also on Saturday, the team dealt cornerback Justin Tryon to the Indianapolis Colts in exchange for an undisclosed future draft choice.

Tryon, who was obtained from the Redskins in exchange for an undisclosed future draft choice, appeared in 29 games for Washington over the past two seasons, with a pair of starts.

The Redskins will open their season next Sunday night, when they host the arch rival Dallas Cowboys to open the Shanahan era.
