Cross another item off the to-do list. The New Orleans Saints announced Wednesday that they have agreed to terms on a one-year contract extension with running back Dwayne Washington, one of their core special teamers — he was one of just six players to log 200-plus reps in the kicking game last year. Washington has also averaged 5.3 yards per carry on 43 attempts in three years with New Orleans as a backup.
He’ll receive more than $300,000 in guarantees on this low-cost extension, which carries a salary cap hit of just $987,500, per Amie Just of the Times-Picayune | The Advocate.
