After hosting him on a visit Thursday, the Washington Redskins have signed outside linebacker Junior Galette to a deal worth the veteran minimum. This is a controversial move but how does it affect the Redskins moving forward?
Junior Galette brings with him some off the field issues with domestic violence and a bad break up with the New Orleans Saints his previous team. However, Redskins GM Scot McCloughan and the rest of the team’s brain trust must have felt comfortable with what they found.
I was apprehensive about the Redskins interest in Galette because of the character issues but the fact is over the past few seasons he’s been one of the most consistent pass rushers in the NFL with 22 sacks.
