The Washington Redskins terminated the contracts of veteran guard Chris Chester and cornerback Tracy Porter on Wednesday.

The moves create about $6.2 million in salary cap space as the Redskins look into extending contracts for left tackle Trent Williams, linebacker Ryan Kerrigan and running back Alfred Morris.

Chester, 32, had started every game for Washington over the past four seasons. He is expected to be replaced by second-year guard Spencer Long.

The Redskins have decent depth at corner, with second-year player Bashaud Breeland and free-agent addition Chris Culliver joining veterans DeAngelo Hall and David Amerson.
