Ryan Kerrigan’s time in Washington appears to have come to an end. After a decade in the DMV, the once prodigal son looks to be moving on to greener pastures.
The 32-year old is still a free agent. But his post on Instagram last night seems to indicate that wherever he does end up in 2021, it won’t be in Washington.
Read MoreOn Friday the Washington Football Team announced that it had trimmed the roster by five players. Among those released was the son of NFL Hall-of-Famer Randy Moss – Thaddeus Moss.
Moss played college football at LSU after transferring from NC State. He caught two touchdowns in LSU’s 2020 College Football Playoff National Championship game. Moss was found to have a broken foot just before the 2020 NFL Draft, and was not selected.

Jenkins is the fifth Redskins unrestricted free agent to leave this offseason, following the departures of linebacker Brian Orakpo to the Titans, wide receiver Leonard Hankerson to the Atlanta Falcons, and running back Roy Helu Jr. signed with the Oakland Raiders. Safety Ryan Clark retired.
Read MoreThe new Redskins General Manager Scot McCloughan wasted little time in getting active in free agency, by signing former Indianapolis Colts defensive lineman Ricky Jean-Francois. The deal is reportedly a 3 year deal worth $9 million with $4 million guaranteed; but could be worth as much as $11.25 million with incentives, according to his agent Drew Rosenhaus.

Francois was released by the Colts on Monday, and the Redskins, 49ers, and Seahawks were rumoured to be interested. The 49ers actually drafted him originally, but it was McCloughan who was the GM in San Francisco at the time. It was actually the last draft selection he made there.
Read MoreThe Redskins made a couple of depth moves today, signing offensive tackle James Lee, and re-signing defensive lineman Kedric Golston.
Golston has been with the Redskins his entire six-year NFL career, and Washington knows exactly what they’re getting – a solid contributor that is versatile enough to back-up anywhere along the defensive front. He had 1.5 sacks in nine games last season before being put on injured reserve.
Read MoreIt looks like we may be starting football pretty soon, so it seemed prudent to knock out what I think are 10 great free agents for the Washington Redskins to target.
1. Aubrayo Franklin – NT – The 3-4 defense relies on a true nose tackle, and Franklin is the best available in free agency. He won’t come cheap which is a concern for any over 30 lineman, but his ability to free up linebackers Brian Orakpo and rookie Ryan Kerrigan, make adding him a must. The Redskins will have money to spend, and despite needing many pieces, settling for less than Franklin, will be just that, settling.

You know what they say about opinions…
I have no idea what the next few weeks may hold… but I suspect that there is some fun afoot.
My plan?
Re-sign Campbell. Work on building an OL for the future. If a QB falls to us, fine. But, what the heck… nobody listens to me since my dog died.
