According to the official announcements made by the Washington Redskins on Monday, they have successfully persuaded veteran center Casey Rabach to wear back the Redskins jersey after signing a $12.3 million, three-year contract.
“Casey has been a productive player in this league for many years and we expect him to be a key ingredient to our success,” Coach Mike Shanahan said in a statement released by the team. Indeed, the 32-year-old Rabach has started 79 of the club’s last 80 games and is expected to continue playing his anchor role at the position.
After signing Rabach, the Redskins’ job of adding more parts for their line is still far from end. Having signed former Minnesota Vikings tackle Artis Hicks from free agent market, the Redskins’ next target is released former Denver Broncos center Casey Wiegmann.

Redskins plan to tender QB Campbell before deadline for free agency
According to the Washington Redskins coach Mike Shanahan, the team plans to offer a tender to their quarterback Jason Campbell before he becomes a free agent on March 5, but may not promise him the starting job.
Shanahan said he’s still evaluating Campbell. And Redskins owner Dan Snyder tried to replace him with Jay Cutler or Mark Sanchez but failed in attempts to acquire them last offseason. So it’s no surprise that the team may take a new quarterback with the fourth overall pick in April’s draft although the Redskins are actually in great needs of offensive players. The Redskins finished the 2009 season 4-12 and Snyder fired former head coach Jim Zorn after two seasons.
What is likely to happen to Campbell, then? Will he be willing to remain the Redskins jerseys as a backup to a rookie quarterback after being the starting quarterback for the past 3 and a half seasons? At age 29, the four-year veteran may consider hard about his career future.

Redskins may retain RB Portis
Although running back Clinton Portis has said that he does not expect to be retained by the Washington Redskins, he is still likely to continue wearing Redskins jersey for longer as running backs Coach Bobby Turner believes that Portis has something left.
"Oh, he definitely has something left," Turner told The Washington Post. "We were excited about Clinton when we drafted him. And I’ve looked at a bunch of (2009) games, I mean, pretty close to every one. Matter of fact, to be precise, I’ve looked at 14 games already. Not that he was in 14, but he definitely has something left."
Portis is turning 29 in 2010 and he played in only eight games last year with a concussion. And he could still earn $6.43 million of guaranteed money if he continues playing for the Redskins in 2010 season. As Turner also coached Portis when he was playing with the Denver Broncos, what he said of Portis could be right.

Falcons Coach was fined while Redskins CB not punished
The Washington Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall must be glad to know that the Atlanta Falcons Coach Mike Smith has been fined $15,000 by the NFL for the sideline scuffle in which, the Redskins CB, who used to play four seasons in Falcons jersey, accused Smith and other Falcons staff of doing improper things to him.
The league also fined Falcons director of athletic performance Jeff Fish $2,500, Redskins safety LaRon Landry $7,500 and Redskins defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth $5,000, but did not fine Hall, who was also involved in the scuffle. Smith confirmed the report on Thursday, but he would not like to mention the amount.
The scuffle resulted from Landry’s hit on Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan. While Landry and Ryan returned to game soon as if nothing serious ever happened, Hall was surrounded by opposing players, along with Smith and Fish when he went to Falcons sideline with purpose of helping teammate out. Hall said Smith cursed at him and Fish and others put their hands on him. He also said that he would file a complaint against them with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.
