The Washington Redskins evidently have one major goal during free agency. Upgrade their linebacker corps.
The team is switching to a 4-3 defense and linebacker was one of their weakest positions on paper. They have some young players with talent, including Cole Holcomb and Shaun Dion Hamilton, but they don’t have players that are proven in the 4-3 scheme. So, they’ve been looking to add some veterans to help provide depth as a result.
The Redskins re-signed Jon Bostic on the first day of legal tampering. Earlier today, they agreed to a deal with Kevin Pierre-Louis.
