No Compensatory Picks for Redskins

March 24, 2015 by Mark Solway

For the third consecutive season, the Washington Redskins will not receive any compensatory picks in the upcoming 2015 NFL Draft.

The NFL announced the 32 compensatory picks on Monday night, and not surprisingly Washington didn’t receive any. Last year’s signing of Jason Hatcher negated all losses.

From NFL.com:

Under the rules, a team losing more or better compensatory free agents than it acquires in the previous year is eligible to receive compensatory draft picks. The number of picks a team receives equals the net loss of compensatory free agents up to a maximum of four.

Here are the 32 picks:

Redskins Sign DE To Kick Off Free Agency

February 27, 2015February 26, 2015 by Mark Solway

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

— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) February 26, 2015

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.

Brandon Banks Sighting

May 26, 2016February 8, 2015 by Mark Solway

For those Washington fans that may not know, former Redskins kick returner Brandon Banks is now earning a paycheque in the Canadian Football League. After three years with Washington, Banks made the jump to Canadian Football last year, and will probably never look back.

This week he signed a 3-year deal with the Hamilton Tiger Cats. Banks spent last year with Hamilton, where he nearly stole the Grey Cup in the waning moments with a 90-yard punt return, unceremoniously called back for a penalty. That close call, and the promise of job security, made re-signing with the TiCats an easy decision for Banks.
