While Ryan Kerrigan's departure from Washington was probably inevitable, that realization does nothing to mitigate the sting of him signing with a division rival.
Indeed, Kerrigan had opportunities elsewhere, with reported interest from the Bengals and Steelers, but instead chose to sign with Philadelphia, where he'll play his former team twice in 2021. Kerrigan is Washington's all-time sack leader and the living embodiment of class.
