Since the NFL offseason has began, many of the teams eliminated from postseason contention have been signing players to reserve/future contracts. These deals bind players to a team’s 90-man roster for the 2017 league year, but are not enacted until the first day of the league year. On Sunday, the Washington Redskins signed three players to such deals, including a high upside player at nose tackle.
Phil Taylor was the man. Taylor, a former first round pick by the Cleveland Browns in 2011, has played four seasons in the NFL. However, he has not logged an NFL snap since 2014.
