Junior Galette's deal offers no risk for Redskins, lots of reward

The Washington Redskins' spending this offseason was focused more on depth than anything else. But they also hope they found a bargain in at least one of their moves, re-signing Junior Galette. His one-year deal is potentially worth $4.1 million, but that would require him to achieve a 15-sack season among other incentives.

But Galette, if healthy, could be one of the NFL's better pass rushers. However, his contract suggests there's some doubt about his ability to return. It's not as if the Redskins have tried to replace him, but they certainly looked at other pass-rush help -- Chris Long, Andre Branch -- to serve as complementary rushers.
