UNC’s Quinn cut by Redskins

Tight end Richard Quinn, a former UNC player, was cut from the Washington Redskins Friday.

He was picked in the second round (64th overall) of the 2009 NFL Draft. He has appeared in 30 games in his three-year NFL career. He played only one game for the Redskins in 2011 so it’s unlikely he will be chosen for the eight-man practice squad. At only 25, he could latch on with another team however.

Another Redskin tight end and fullback, Chris Cooley, who was one of the most popular Redskins players in recent memory, was also cut. That leaves the Skins with Niles Paul, Logan Paulsen and Fred Davis as their tight ends.
