The Redskinsis are awaiting word on cornerback Will Blackmon’s decision on the new contract offer they have extended him. Meantime, Washington has yet to make any real progress in negotiations with pass-rusher Junior Galette.
Blackmon, the 31-year-old 10th-year veteran who signed with Washington a week into the 2015 season and went on to start 10 of 15 games while recording 49 tackles, a sack, three forced fumbles and two interceptions, also has drawn interest from other teams. Although he would like to re-sign with the Redskins, he was reviewing all of his options, a person with knowledge of the situation said over the weekend.
