Related Topics: Bryan Stork, Stork

The story of Bryan Stork took another strange turn Monday morning when the center failed his physical with the Redskins, according to multiple reports.

A failed physical means his rights go back to the Patriots, and the Redskins get back their conditional draft pick. Essentially, the trade that happened last week doesn't count, and the Redskins don't have to deal with the headache anymore.

If you haven't been following along, Stork's situation went from strange to really strange last week. Here's a timeline of events:

  • Patriots tell Stork they are going to release him; media leaks report
  • Redskins see reports and decide they want to trade for Stork
  • Trade is made, but Stork contemplates retirement
  • Stork waits to report to Redskins
  • Stork fails physical, heads back to Patriots

As NFL Media's Ian Rapoport said, the Redskins "were frustrated" with the center after all of the drama and probably aren't sad to see he won't be a part of the team.
