Peyton Barber signing with the #Redskins on a 2-year deal worth $3M with $600K guaranteed. https://t.co/hvufNHtGZH
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 24, 2020The Redskins agreed to a two-year deal with offensive tackle Cornelius Lucas on Thursday, with the deal valued at $5.3 million, per NFL Media's Ian Rapoport. Lucas is a mammoth of a human, standing at 6 feet, 8 inches tall and weighing in at 327 pounds. Undrafted in 2014, Lucas has played for four teams in six NFL seasons, most recenly with the Bears in 2019.
Cornelius Lucas held his own nicely last year when the Bears needed it. Went from a guy I didn't expect to make the 53-man roster out of camp to a solid depth piece and nice contract here. https://t.co/OjzFKFxeRm
— JJ Stankevitz (@JJStankevitz) March 19, 2020The Redskins are slated to sign tight end Logan Thomas, John Keim reports. Previously with Detroit, Thomas was a quarterback in college at Virginia Tech who converted to tight end at the NFL level three years into his professional career.
The Redskins will sign TE Logan Thomas, per source.
— John Keim (@john_keim) March 19, 2020The Redskins added depth running back J.D. McKissic via a two-year deal, reports Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. McKissic, 26, is a versatile back with hands who caught 34 passes for 233 yards and one touchdowns for the Lions in 2019, while rushing for an additional 205 yards on 38 touches. He played in 16 games, starting three.
The #Redskins are signing RB J.D. McKissic to a two-year deal, source said.
— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) March 19, 2020The Redskins have re-signed defensive end, Nate Orchard, to a one-year deal. The Redskins brought Orchard on late last season and he was a reliable contributor during his limited playing time.
DE Nate Orchard returning to Washington on a one-year deal, per source.
— Jeremy Fowler (@JFowlerESPN) March 18, 2020The Redskins are signing former Steelers free safety Sean Davis. The former Terp was a second-round pick in 2016 and is coming off a year in which he missed all but one game. Davis is signing a one-year deal worth up to $5 million, according to Adam Schefter.

— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 18, 2020Ron Rivera is adding a veteran presence in the Redskins locker room, reuniting with linebacker Thomas Davis, who played eight seasons for him in Carolina. Davis, who turns 37 on Sunday, is still productive despite his age, racking up 112 combined tackles for the Chargers in 2019.
The #Redskins are signing former #Bears LB Kevin Pierre-Louis, per @SPORTSTARSNYC. An underrated player who was a favorite of defensive coordinators.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 17, 2020CHI, it was a blessing to experience the passion and history. Thank you! #HTTR’s I’m ready to work and earn your respect ✊--
— Kevin Pierre-Louis (@MrHyde_24) March 17, 2020The Redskins made a tough decision in giving away Kendall Fuller in the Jan. 2018 trade that brought Alex Smith to Washington. Now, after watching him win the Super Bowl with the Kansas City Chiefs, the Redskins are bringing the 25-year-old corner back home on a four-year deal (more details).
#Redskins are signing former #Falcons G Wes Schweitzer, source says. He gets $13.5 million over three years.
— Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) March 16, 2020After failing to come to an agreement before free agency, the Redskins rightly realized they couldn't live without guard Brandon Scherff. By using the non-exclusive franchise tag, they're betting they can reach a long-term deal by July 15, or allow another team to make an offer with the chance to match or receive compensation in return.
Miami Dolphins agree to terms with Ereck Flowers $30M over 3 years with $19.95M fully guaranteed, per @RosenhausSports
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 16, 2020Redskins made a legit offer to keep Ereck Flowers. Offered up to $8 million per season. Wouldn’t go to $10M though
— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) March 16, 2020Rumors & Rumblings:
Keep in mind, expressing interest could just mean: wait/see what else develops. sure there are others on their list, too. This is just 1 that i know they have talked to. Would imagine they wouldn't feel "problem solved." wouldn't have felt that way if Olsen had come here.
— John Keim (@john_keim) March 18, 2020The Panthers made a surprise move in releasing safety Eric Reid. With Washington's need for a free safety to play opposite of Landon Collins, don't be surprised if Ron Rivera calls up another one of his former players.
Slight surprise in Charlotte: The Panthers will be releasing safety Eric Reid, source says. Team saw him as a great culture fit, ownership/management really liked him, all seemed well. But team decided to instead go a different way at safety in free agency.
— Jeff Darlington (@JeffDarlington) March 18, 2020The Redskins shoved all their chips in on free agent wide receiver Amari Cooper, who, according to ESPN's Ed Werder, turned down a better contract with Washington to return to Dallas (more details).
All reported deals can't become official until the start of the new league year on Wednesday, March 18 at 4 p.m. EST.
