The Redskins have signed 28-year old DT Darrion Scott. Scott did not play in either 2008 or 2009. He has played in 48 games (28 starts) in his NFL career and he has 128 tackles, 9.5 sacks, he defensed 6 passes and he forced 1 fumble. The Redskins continue to stockpile DTs for the 2010 season.
The Redskins have signed 31-year old DT Howard Green and 23-year old RB Ryan Torain to 1-year deals. The 6′4″, 320 pound Green played in 12 games for the Jets last season in which he made 23 tackles. He has now played in 48 games in his NFL career in which he has made 78 tackles, defensed 1 pass, he has 1 sack and he has forced 2 fumbles. Green will likely be coming off the bench for the Redskins if he makes the team. Ryan Torain was picked by Mike Shanahan in his last draft with the Broncos. He played in 2 games in 2008 for the Broncos carrying the ball 15 times for 69 yards (4.6 ypc) with 1 TD run. Torain has a nice upside if he can just stay healthy which he never seems to.
The Redskins have signed 26-year old DT Greg Peterson. Peterson played in 2 games for the Jaguars last season and he made 1 tackle. He has now played in 14 games in his NFL career in which he has made 16 tackles and he has 1.5 sacks. The Redskins signed Peterson to give them another big body inside as he is 6′5″, 315 pounds.
The Redskins have signed 28-year old DT Anthony Bryant. The 6′3″, 337 pound Bryant has not played in the NFL since 2006 with the Lions. He has played in 8 games in his NFL career and he has 11 whole tackles. If never hurts to give a huge man like Bryant another chance and it didn’t cost the Redskins much.
The Redskins have signed 29-year old RB Willie Parker to a 1-year deal. Parker played in 14 games for the Steelers last season and he carried the ball 98 times for 389 yards (4.0 ypc). He also caught 6 passes for 64 yards (10.7 avg) with 1 TD grab. In his six years in the NFL, Parker has played in 79 games in which he has carried the ball 1,253 times for 5,378 yards (4.3 ypc) with 24 TD runs. He has also caught 84 passes for 697 yards (8.3 avg) with 5 TD grabs. Parker will battle Larry Johnson and Clinton Portis for the starting gig at RB this fall for the Redskins.
