The 27-year old defensive back played the first four years of his career with the New Orleans Saints, before bouncing from the Denver Broncos in 2012 to the Oakland Raiders in 2013.
The 2013 season marked the first time Tracy Porter was given a chance to be an unquestioned starter at cornerback, starting all 16 games for the 4-12 Oakland Raiders. He posted career-highs in tackles (53) and sacks (1.5), along with posting two interceptions.
Porter will likely function as a backup for cornerbacks DeAngelo Hall and David Amerson, and could also be brought in on nickel and dime packages for Redskins defensive coordinator Jim Haslett.
