Redskins Ink Free Agent CB Cedric Griffin To A One-Year Deal

Found March 16, 2012 on GridironFans.com: Yardbarker Blogger Network
TEAMS: Washington Redskins
The Washington Redskins added another piece to their secondary Friday, agreeing to terms on a one-year deal with free agent cornerback Cedric Griffin. He will sign a contract that will pay him as much as $2.5 million, according to a person familiar with the deal. Griffin tore an ACL in January 2010 while playing in the NFC championship game against New Orleans. He recovered in time to play by Week 3 of the 2010 season, but then tore his other ACL. He returned as a starter in 2011, but wasn’t quite the same, and was released earlier this week.

Mike Holmgren told me everything I need to know about the Washington Redskins trade-up for the Rams' slot in the 2012 NFL Draft.

Redskins re-sign Rex Grossman. How many RG3s can one team stand?

Yes, Rex the Third is his full name. Rex Grossman, his grandfather I suspect, played for the Baltimore Colts and Detroit Lions as a kicker and middle linebacker from 1948 to 1950. Thus, the Redskins will have two...

Redskins bring back Rex Grossman

According to Mike Jones of the Washington Post, the Redskins have re-signed free agent quarterback Rex Grossman. As much as Redskins fans don’t want to have to look at Grossman anymore, it’s a smart move because he already knows the offense and it will allow the coaches to focus on teaching Robert Griffin III the system once he’s drafted and comes in. Also as bad as Grossman...

So that means I got to get...
