Did Justin Tryon do enough to make the Redskins' final roster?

Redskins Insider | Washington Post — Third-year cornerback Justin Tryon intercepted a pass and broke up another Thursday night in a 20-10 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. But did Tryon do enough? Before his performance in the preseason finale, Tryon was on shaky ground to make the opening 53-man roster, according to people with knowledge of the situation. And it's doubtful he could have done enough in the last preseason game to effect a major change in his situation.

But the numbers of his preexisting contract were also changed and Beck is now set to make $600,000 in 2010 instead of the $1.1 million his contract previously called for, according to a league source familiar with the d...
