ASHBURN, Va. (AP) -- Fourth-round draft pick Manuel White agreed to a four-year, $1.81 million contract Wednesday with the Washington Redskins.

White will receive a $420,000 signing bonus. The UCLA running back is expected to be used as a versatile H-back in Redskins coach Joe Gibbs' offense.

The Redskins have yet to sign first-round draft picks Carlos Rogers and Jason Campbell. Players report for training camp Sunday.

This is great. This will allow us to expand Cooley's responsibilities.

I see this guy doing an incredible job on special teams but with his size I'd love to see him line up as a lead block for Portis at times. This would even allow us to put cooley at the TE position in certain situations. This will add a lot of confusion to the opposing D.

We fans are alway optimistic! Take good news and make it better...

Maybe it should say, No Redskin's second and third round picks will be unsigned when training camp starts.

I heard Manuel was a beast runner. Hopefully he'll add another dimension to our H-Back position. We'll have the pass catcher in Cooley and the runner between the tackles in White
