The Washington Redskins, in the past, have often hit the ground running during free agency periods in which they possessed an excess of cash. This offseason, Ron Rivera has over $60 million to work with, but it’s clear that the new regime isn’t throwing money around. They’re looking for cost-effective investments, even if that means waiting a bit to make premier signings.
Earlier today, potential Redskins target Austin Hooper signed a deal with the Cleveland Browns to become the highest-paid tight end in the league, and Ereck Flowers, formerly of the Redskins, signed a contract with the Miami Dolphins worth $10 million a year.
