-- 2016 Redskins Free Agency Journal
Chris Thompson will be returning to the Washington Redskins in 2016, fresh off what was easily his best season yet in the NFL.
Thompson was an exclusive rights free agent and had an offer extended to him two weeks ago, along with inside linebacker Will Compton and punter Tress Way, who signed a new five-year deal on Saturday.
After two seasons dealing with injuries and a lengthy stint on the practice squad in 2014, Thompson stood out during last year’s training camp, grabbing the team’s third-down back role alongside Alfred Morris and Matt Jones.
