STATS, LLC PLAYER NEWS

Fletcher, London (LB)

Posted April 16, 2012 @ 5:10 p.m.
The Redskins have re-signed Fletcher.
Fletcher has been a member of the Redskins for five seasons, leading the team in tackles each year and appearing in the last three Pro Bowls. He got a two-year deal. He has made at least 100 tackles in 13 consecutive seasons and has never missed a game in his NFL career.

Fletcher, London (LB)

Posted April 13, 2012 @ 6:21 p.m.
Fletcher says he's returning to the Washington Redskins. The veteran free agent linebacker announced on Twitter on Friday: "Redskins fans your captain is back! ... Excited about returning to the Skins! The support I've received from the fans didn't go unnoticed!"
Fletcher, who turns 37 next month, has been the anchor of Washington's defense for five seasons. He's never missed a game in his NFL career, having played in 224 straight since debuting with the St. Louis Rams in 1998. The Redskins have said all along that re-signing Fletcher was a priority, and he consistently expressed his desire to return.

Lee, James (T)

Posted April 09, 2012 @ 5:12 p.m.
The Washington Redskins have signed Lee.
Lee has played three NFL seasons, all with Tampa Bay. He started nine games at right tackle in 2010 but played in only three games last year, in part because of a knee injury. Lee was undrafted out of South Carolina State. He is expected to provide depth behind starting right tackle Jammal Brown, who has been hampered by injuries in recent years.

Grossman, Rex (QB)

Posted March 21, 2012 @ 5:13 p.m.
The Redskins said Wednesday that Grossman has signed his one-year contract to return to the team. Grossman agreed to the deal last week.
Grossman - full name Rex Daniel Grossman III - has said he expects to spend the season tutoring a rookie quarterback, likely Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III.

Carriker, Adam (DE)

Posted March 20, 2012 @ 4:18 p.m.
The Redskins announced Tuesday that defensive end Adam Carriker has signed his new deal. Carriker last week agreed to a four-year, $20 million contract with $7 million guaranteed.
Carriker returns for his third season with the Redskins. He had 5 1/2 sacks last season.

Lichtensteiger, Kory (G)

Posted March 20, 2012 @ 4:17 p.m.
Lichtensteiger has signed his one-year, $1.26 million restricted free agent tender to remain with the Washington Redskins.
Lichtensteiger returns for his third season in Washington. He started the first five games at left guard last season before going on injured reserve with torn ligaments in his right knee.

Grossman, Rex (QB)

Posted March 17, 2012 @ 11:45 p.m.
Grossman is returning to the Washington Redskins for a one-year deal, fully expecting to spend the season helping groom Robert Griffin III.
Grossman told ESPN 980 on Saturday that he's fully aware the Redskins are going to draft a quarterback - probably Heisman Trophy winner Griffin - with the No. 2 overall pick next month. But Grossman said he wants to remain a part of the team and play a part in its turnaround after another last-place season. Grossman won the starting job out of training camp last year, was benched for John Beck after five games, then later regained the No. 1 spot.

Griffin, Cedric (CB)

Posted March 16, 2012 @ 3:09 p.m.
Free agent cornerback Cedric Griffin has agreed to terms with the Washington Redskins. He was expected to sign his contract Friday. The Redskins could be looking to move Griffin to safety, where the team is seeking to replace LaRon Landry and Oshiomogho Atogwe.
Griffin was cut last week by Minnesota, where he played for six years. He came back after tearing the ACL in both knees in 2010 to play in all 16 games last year, but he wasn't able to regain his previous form, was benched late in the season and expressed dissatisfaction with his demotion. He had three years left on his contract when he was released by the Vikings and had been due $4.1 million in salary for 2012.

Meriweather, Brandon (S)

Posted March 15, 2012 @ 1:53 p.m.
Meriweather agreed to a two-year, $6 million deal with Washington on Thursday. The Redskins are starting the task of replacing last year's safety tandem of LaRon Landry and Oshiomogho Atogwe.
The 28-year-old Meriweather was a first-round draft pick by New England in 2007 and was a two-time Pro Bowl player with the Patriots before he was cut at the end of last year's training camp. He then signed with Chicago but was a disappointment with the Bears, losing his starting job early in the season. The Redskins need help after at safety after cutting the underperforming Atogwe on Monday. The team didn't re-sign Landry, who is recovering from an Achilles injury.

Carriker, Adam (DE)

Posted March 13, 2012 @ 5:35 p.m.
The Washington Redskins have agreed to terms to re-sign Carriker to a four-year, $20 million contract.
The deal gives Carriker $7 million in guaranteed money. It was completed within the first two hours of the NFL free agency signing period Tuesday. Carriker will be returning for his third year with the Redskins. He had 5 1/2 sacks last season.
