Redskins sign TE Logan Paulsen
TE Logan Paulsen, a restricted free agent, has agreed to a 3-year deal to remain with the Washington Redskins. It makes sense to sign RFA's whenever possible because a multi-year contract can be made more cap-friendly than the RFA tender. We don't have the details on Paulsen's contract yet, but odds are high that it is cap friendly for the Redskins.
Paulsen set...
Report: Washington To Sign TE Logan Paulsen To A Three-Year Deal

– 0 catches
That’s kind of odd for the most prolific pass-catching tight end in franchise history, no? Meanwhile, Logan Paulsen and Niles...

The 5th Quarter: Redskins 31 Eagles 6
IT WAS OVER WHEN... Redskins QB Robert Griffin III dropped back to pass and, as the pocket closed around him, he calmly fired a frozen rope of a pass to the outside shoulder of TE Logan Paulsen, who hauled the ball in and twisted in the defender's arms into the end zone.

Paulsen working continually to get better
Before the Redskins visited the Giants in Week 7, tight end Logan Paulsen had exactly zero catches in six games this season.
