The Redskins continue tos sign players from the now defunct Alliance of American Football. Today's signing of LB DeMarquis Gates marks the player acquired after the league abruptly folded last week.
Gates, who played LB at Ole Miss in college, played for the Memphis Express in the AAF. He was leading the AAF in tackles with 52 and forced fumbles with five.
He talked about what happened when the league closed shop suddenly:
”We found out at practice, and some of our stuff was already out of our hotel rooms and in the lobby when we got back there,” Gates shared.
