The Washington Redskins have signed 29-year old safety Oshiomogho (O.J.) Atogwe to a 5-year, $26 million dollar deal.  Atogwe played in 16 games for the Rams last season and he had 73 tackles, 2 sacks, 4 tackles for a loss, 9 passes defensed, 3 interceptions and 2 forced fumbles.  He has now played in 88 games in his first six years in the NFL and he has 393 tackles, 42 passes defensed, 5 sacks, 16 forced fumbles and 22 interceptions (1 returned for a TD).  O.J. Atogwe gives the Redskins a big time playmaker at the back end of the defense.  I just love this signing for the Skins.

The Washington Redskins have released 30-year old guard Derrick Dockery.  Dockery played in 5 games (2 starts) for the Redskins last season.  He played in 85 games (79 starts) in six seasons with the Redskins.  The Redskins think they will be able to do better in free agency.

The Washington Redskins have released 31-year old OLB/DE Andre Carter.  Carter played in all 16 games for the Redskins last season and he had 44 tackles, 2.5 sacks, 2 tackles for a loss, 1 pass defensed, 1 forced fumble and 1 fumble recovery.  Carter played in 80 games in his five years with the Redskins and he had 245 tackles, 10 passes defensed, 34 sacks and 8 forced fumbles.  Although Carter didn’t play especially well last season the Redskins are going to have to target a pass rusher at DE or OLB to replace him.
