One day after signing defensive lineman Ricky Jean-Francois to a three-year deal, the Redskins have released defensive tackle Barry Cofield, according to his agent.
(more…)The Redskins addressed one of their many offseason needs by signing veteran defensive lineman Ricky Jean-Francois to a three-year contract Thursday.
The Washington Redskins opened up the 2014 season with a new head coach and a new outlook on offense, defense and special teams. That said, it was uncertain what to expect heading into their first game of the year.
Fresh off a new six-year, $100 million contract all eyes were on Texans defensive end J.J. Watt, and for good reason. The fourth-year, two-time Pro Bowler played a big role in Houston’s 17-6 victory. His strong defensive effort included three tackles, five quarterback hits, one pass defended, a blocked extra point and fumble recovery.
Here are some of the positives and negatives the Redskins can take away from today’s game:
