As the weeks of free agency with Ryan Kerrigan going unsigned dragged on, a hopeful question made the rounds among Washington fans: Does a lack of interest elsewhere open the door for the veteran’s potential return to the Washington Football Team?
The answer came Monday, and it has to sting for local fans.
The longtime face of the Washington defense is now a Philadelphia Eagle.
Kerrigan announced on social media that he signed with the Philadelphia Eagles — leaving Washington for a hated NFC East rival.
The signing came after Kerrigan posted a goodbye to Washington on his Instagram Sunday night.
