Redskins make first move of signing period, add defensive end Kendall Reyes

The Washington Redskins continued to add depth to the defensive line on Friday by signing former San Diego Chargers defensive end Kendall Reyes.

The 26-year-old Reyes played the last four seasons with San Diego and had 126 tackles and 13.5 sacks in 50 starts. Last season, the 6-foot-4, 300-pound defensive end had 32 tackles, two sacks, four pass deflections and an interception. Reyes was drafted in the second round in 2012, making him the highest pick for a defensive lineman in UConn history.

The signing was the Redskins‘ first since the 2016 free agency period began on Wednesday at 4 p.
