Washington has released Jordan Reed.

The tight end, 29, has never played a full 16-game season in his injury-plagued career.

Reed missed the entire 2019 campaign after suffering a concussion during the preseason.

He had 329 receptions for 3,371 yards and 24 touchdowns with Washington.

Washington has exercised their 2020 option on the contract of Adrian Peterson.

Peterson had signed a two-year deal with the team option last offseason. He'll receive a $2.25 million base salary with a roster bonus of $109,375. He carries a $3.1 million salary-cap hit.

Peterson has played in 31 of 32 games since joining Washington. 

"Going into this season, there's so much more I can do and how I can help this team," Peterson told ESPN by phone on Wednesday. "My mentality is showing the Adrian Peterson of old and not just flashes; really showing, 'Wow, this cat is on a whole different level.'"

Washington will release Josh Norman, which will save the franchise $12.5 million in cap space.

"It's their choice, not mine," Norman said. "Now I can start something new and fresh."

Norman previously played for Ron Rivera while with the Carolina Panthers.

Norman was a first-team All-Pro in 2015 and then signed with Washington on a five-year, $75 million deal.

Unhappy with his contract, Quinton Dunbar has asked the Washington Redskins to release or trade him, according to a source.

Dunbar, 27, has one year left on his contract, with a base salary of $3.25 million -- none of which is guaranteed.

He also has a roster bonus worth up to $250,000.

Dunbar had spoken to the previous administration about a contract extension.

The Washington Redskins are working to hire Jennifer King, who would be the NFL's first full-time African American female coach, according to sources.

King would be an offensive assistant on Ron Rivera's staff.

Rivera had hired King as a wide receivers coaching intern for the Carolina Panthers the past two summers.
