Redskins Wallpaper: Chris “Swaggy” Baker
Last week, Terrance Knighton signed with the Redskins, perhaps largely due to the efforts of his good friend and current Washington Redskin, Chris Baker.
Redskins Bolster Secondary, Add Johnson
The Redskins took another step in re-building their secondary today, and signed former Seattle Seahawks safety Jeron Johnson. He was with the Seahawks from 2011 until 2014, and backed up Pro Bowl strong safety Kam Chancellor. Johnson tweeted the news early Monday afternoon, and the NFL’s Ian Rapoport confirmed and tweeted out the details of … Read more

Redskins Get Much Needed Secondary Help
The Redskins have signed cornerback Chris Culliver to a four year deal.
Four signings, four defensive players – the message is clear.
Culliver instantly improves the secondary, and was sought after by several teams in free agency. His deal is reported to be worth $14-16 Million in guaranteed money, with over $30 Million potential.
Redskins Land Knighton
Apparently Scot McCloughan’s first order of business was to re-build the Redskins previously unremarkable defensive front. The new General Manager made his third substantial move at the position on Thursday – perhaps his most substantial one.

Given the quick start to free agency by new Redskins General Manager Scot McCloughan, I really couldn’t stop myself from doing this. Seriously, I need a photoshop 12-step program or something… Hail to the Redskins.
Cutting the Line
It didn’t take Scot McCloughan long to establish that he’s going to be making some changes around these parts. After signing Ricky Jean-Francois early yesterday, he also cut veterans Stephen Bowen and Barry Cofield.

Redskins Sign DE To Kick Off Free Agency
The new Redskins General Manager Scot McCloughan wasted little time in getting active in free agency, by signing former Indianapolis Colts defensive lineman Ricky Jean-Francois. The deal is reportedly a 3 year deal worth $9 million with $4 million guaranteed; but could be worth as much as $11.25 million with incentives, according to his agent Drew Rosenhaus.
Ricky Jean-Francois just signed a 3-year deal with the Redskins, per @RosenhausSports. Worth $9M with $4M guaranteed. Total value is $11.25M

Francois was released by the Colts on Monday, and the Redskins, 49ers, and Seahawks were rumoured to be interested. The 49ers actually drafted him originally, but it was McCloughan who was the GM in San Francisco at the time. It was actually the last draft selection he made there.
