AP source: Washington releasing starting RT Morgan Moses

<p>WASHINGTON &mdash; A person with direct knowledge of the move said Washington is releasing longtime starting right tackle Morgan Moses and reserve Geron Christian.</p>
<p>The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Thursday because the team had not announced the transactions. They’re expected to be made official soon.</p>
<p>Moses started for Washington at right tackle every game for the past six seasons. He became a fan favorite, most notably as the subject of a viral “Morgan Moses Pancakes” campaign that led to local IHOP restaurants honoring him for his pancake-style blocks.</p>
<p>Signing former Chicago Bears offensive tackle Charles Leno and drafting Samuel Cosmi in the second round led to Washington’s surprising decision to cut ties with Moses. Releasing Moses clears $7.5 million off the salary cap.</p>
<p>The 30-year-old from Richmond, Virginia, is a free agent effective immediately.</p>
