It was revealed yesterday that the Washington Redskins did not issue any franchise tenders to restricted free agents, thus releasing them to the open market. The players in question, Rob Kelley and Maurice Harris, were mainly marginal contributors in recent years, but Harris received some interest upon hitting the market.
The interest displayed toward Harris ultimately culminated in a visit with the New England Patriots, and he visited the Patriots’ facility today, along with free agent receiver Bruce Ellington. The Patriots signed Ellington first, but now, per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, they’ve signed Harris as well.
