Free agent wide receiver Pierre Garcon announced on his Twitter and Facebook pages that he is signing with the Washington Redskins. Terms were not disclosed, but Garcon reportedly turned down a five-year, $35 million contract offer from the Indianapolis Colts last month. A 2008 sixth-round pick out of Mount Union by the Colts, Garcon caught a career-high 70 passes for 947 yards and equaled his career-high with six touchdown receptions in 2011. The 6-foot, 210-pound Garcon moved into the starting lineup in 2009 and has 188 receptions for 2,519 yards and 16 touchdowns in 58 career games.
