The Redskins have agreed to terms with free agent linebacker Zach Brown, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com (on Twitter). The deal is pending a physical. Brown signed a one-year deal worth a maximum value of $4.65MM, including a $500K signing bonus (Twitter link).Brown was once said to be seeking a multi-year pact in the $6MM range, but this isn’t a bad outcome for an April signing.
Brown, one of only four PFR Top 50 free agents who were unsigned going into Monday, was linked to several clubs in recent weeks. Ultimately, it’s the Redskins that are coming away with him, but the Raiders, Dolphins, Colts, and the incumbent Bills all showed varying levels of interest. The Raiders and Dolphins were said to be the two finalists for Brown, but word later leaked out that the Fins were not likely to sign him. The Colts may have backed out after adding fellow linebacker Sean Spence.
The Redskins have starting linebackers Mason Foster and restricted free agent Will Compton returning to the fold this year. Brown, it seems, will come in as an upgrade over Compton. Compton ranked as the No. 74 linebacker in the league last season, per Pro Football Focus, while Brown placed 17th.
After racking up 149 total tackles, four sacks, and two forced fumbles for the Bills last season, Brown entered March with hopes of cashing in. Ultimately, his age and lack of history as a top quality ‘backer hampered his market and limited his list of suitors.

1 yr wonder
Was it necessary to post the same garbage 4 times?
Agree!
The Redskins are in total chaos!!!..I dont see them doing anything good in 2017
booger—nice name, n obviously so highly educated…if u bothered 2 read the 2nd comment (which u obviously didnt), i was trying 2 get the comment posted when the site said it was waiting for moderation…n if u look at the timestamps, the 2nd time was 2 hours later, n the 3rd n 4th attempts were changing a word to see if that word was triggering the filtering alert…but i guess that’s typical anymore for internet trollers nowadays, so take your 3rd grade humor n education n nickname (which is prob from the movie, indicating ur way 2 old 2 act like a child), n save it for other childish trolls such as yourself
Why would anyone read a comment that looks nearly identical to itself 4 different times? No one is gonna look to see that you changed only 1 word, the natural assumption is that you are posting multiple times. I know I didn’t, I read the first one and skipped the other 3. Stop being a baby because some didn’t like/read your multiple posts. You’re as childish as you think the other person is
wow, instead of commenting on the signing, yet another internet-brave troll chooses 2 attack attempt a demeaning chiding…are there any actual adults out there who have actual input on the defense n the signing?
You made this whole section about yourself and not the article when you chose to call booger out. Realize your mistake and move on.
As for the signing it’s good. Allows them to focus an early draft pick on the defensive line which needs upgrading
again, infantilism proves my point…trolls just cant help themselves i guess, n as 4 ur point, no, booger did, as i had previously explained, so realize ur logic is flawed, ur wrong, n move on urself…it was never my intent 2 post 4 times, as i explained, but guess i have 2 restate since explaining it b4 was 2 complicated 4 simple minds.
