Newz Forum: FOOTBALL: Gibbs Defends Re-Signing Decisions

Overall, this off season isn't going to have the splash that previous seasons under the ownership of Mr. Snyder have. Considering the pressures that the team has with the salary cap and all, I think it has been a productive off season, but not a huge impact type of off season.





Original Washington Post story link

Gibbs stressed Washington had kept the majority of its free agents -- offensive lineman Ray Brown has agreed to return, he added -- while convincing eight players to restructure contracts to improve the salary cap situation. Gibbs also noted Washington has lost only three key free agents in the last two offseasons. (Last year, the Redskins were forced to trade fullback Bryan Johnson, a restricted free agent, to gain value.)
