The Washington Redskins didn’t use all of their cap space in free agency; after signing Landon Collins to a sizable deal, the Redskins mainly settled for low-money acquisitions. They signed Ereck Flowers to a one-year, $4 million deal, and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie to a one-year deal as well.
It was theorized at the time that the Redskins’ relative conservatism after the signing of Landon Collins was due in part to their desire to extend key in-house players in the near future. Proponents of that theory received more ammunition today, when it was announced that the Redskins had extended interior pass rush specialist Matt Ioannidis for three more years.
