The Redskins have signed 34-year old safety Tyrone Carter. Carter played in 16 games (12 starts) with the Steelers last year and he had 61 tackles, 1 sack, he defensed 4 passes and he had 2 interceptions (one he returned for a TD). Carter has now played in 151 games (53 starts) and he has 409 tackles, 5.5 sacks, 27 passes defensed and 9 interceptions (two TD returns). This is a solid signing so late as Carter has a lot of experience.
The Redskins have signed 29-year old fullback Carey Davis. Davis played in 6 games (0 starts) for the Steelers last season and he carried the ball 2 times for 15 yards (7.5 ypc). Davis has now played in 37 games (10 starts) in his NFL career and he has carried the ball 31 times for 118 yards (3.8 ypc). He has also caught 17 passes for 76 yards (4.5 avg) in his career to date. Davis is a pretty solid fullback who could also help the Skins’ on special teams so I like this signing for them.
The Redskins have signed WR/S Mike Furrey. Furrey played in all 16 games for the Browns last season in which he caught 23 passes for 170 yards (7.4 avg) and he also had 16 tackles and defensed 2 passes. Furrey has now played in 94 games in his NFL career in which he has caught 221 passes for 2,298 yards (10.4 avg) with 7 TD grabs. He has also made 77 tackles, defensed 10 passes and he has 4 interceptions (143 return yards) with a TD return. Furrey is a ideal player for the Redskins to add as he can help them out a little bit on offense, defense and special teams.
The Redskins continue to stockpile defensive linemen as they have signed 34-year old DE/DT Vonnie Holliday. Holliday played in all 16 games for the Broncos last season and he had 33 tackles, 5 sacks and he forced 2 fumbles. He has now played in 167 games in his NFL career and he has 539 tackles, he has defensed 38 passes, has 60 sacks, he has forced 9 fumbles and he has 2 interceptions. This was another solid signing for the Redskins who are spending a lot of cash.
The Redskins have signed 34-year old linebacker Chris Draft. Draft played in 11 games for the Bills last season and he had 38 tackles, three tackles for a loss and he defensed 1 pass. Draft has now played in 149 games in his NFL career in which he has 670 tackles, he has defensed 19 passes, has 16 sacks, forced 6 fumbles and he has 5 interceptions. Draft will provide depth at linebacker for the Redskins and he could even start if he’s needed to.
