When the Redskins signed Larry Johnson last week, they went into the deal with their eyes wide open as evidenced by the three year deal that is short on salary ($3.5 million) and long on incentives (up to $8.5 million). Here’s my breakdown of the risks and rewards:

Johnson signing brings risk, reward
Hicks brings versatility to O-line
Artis Hicks came into the league as a left tackle and has started games there, at right guard and at right tackle. Is the the Redskins’ fallback plan at left tackle for the 2010 season?

Snyder hits back at Emmitt
Yesterday, to fill time while we were waiting for the Redskins to sign Julius Peppers, John Keim posted this article about Emmitt Smith getting great pleasure out of beating the Redskins because he didn’t like Dan Snyder. Here’s the money quote:
“I loved defeating the Redskins. I loved it, I loved it, I loved it with [...]
Williams, Daniels, Alexander are back
A day after whacking 10 players off of the roster the Washington Redskins brought back a few other players who had become free agents due to natural causes. The team confirmed the signings of three players to multi-year contracts:
Lorenzo Alexander will move from the defensive line, where he played both tackle and end, to a [...]
How the Redskins will fill the holes
In releasing 10 players on Thursday, the Redskins cleared their roster of some $30 million in 2010 salary. They also have some key contributors from last season still unsigned. As a result, there are some holes in the roster that will need to be filled either in free agency or in the April draft. Here [...]
Black Thursday for 10 Redskins
The ax is falling at Redskins Park and it’s falling hard and often. Here is a look at the players released to day with more to come:
Rock Cartwright
Cartwright was a seventh-round draft pick of the team in 2002. He wasn’t expected to make the team and he wasn’t expected to stick when he did. But [...]
Is the ‘for sale’ sign up on No. 17?
Per Adam Schefter of NFL Network, the Washington Redskins have assigned a first-round tender offer to quarterback Jason Campbell. If he plays under the offer, he will earn about $3.1 million in 2010.
What is interesting is that the team chose not to add some $100,000 to the tender to bump it up on one that [...]
Redskins put road block on Highway 74
Stephon Heyer also received a second-round tender. That seems high but consider that if they had tendered him at the next-lowest level that would have meant compensation at the original round in which the player was drafted. Since Heyer was an undrafted free agent that would have meant that they had [...]
Nonsense from SI’s Don Banks
The Washington Redskins have a reputation for being free spenders in free agency. That reputation is well justified. But sometimes reputation get blown to mythological proportions. At that point, people who know better such as Don Banks, a longtime writer at sports illustrated, say things that are both silly and false.
Consider the following that Banks [...]
Two more defenders get 2nd round tenders
The Redskins have locked up two more defenders for the 2010 season by offering second-round tenders to safety Reid Doughty and linebacker Rocky McIntosh. That gives them the same $1.759 million salary for 2010 as Kedric Golston will get and it gives them the right to either match any offer they receive from another team [...]
