Nearly all of the remaining members of the team’s 2014 draft class signed deals elsewhere. Linebacker Trent Murphy (a 2014 second-round pick), center Spencer Long (third round), cornerback Bashaud Breeland (fourth round) and wide receiver Ryan Grant (fifth round) participated in the mass exodus. Third-round right tackle Morgan Moses is the lone draftee from 2014 remaining on the roster after he signed a five-year, $38.5 million deal in April 2017.
The Redskins did, according to multiple people familiar with the deliberations., however, welcome quarterback Alex Smith after officially executing the trade it agreed upon in January that sends cornerback Kendall Fuller and a 2018 third-round draft pick to the Kansas City Chiefs. The Redskins, then signed Smith to a four-year extension worth $94 million and includes $71 million in guaranteed money. Smith will replace Kirk Cousins, as expected, who is expected to sign a three-year deal with the Minnesota Vikings that is worth an estimated $84 million to $86 million
Washington also added a deep threat for Smith in former Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Paul Richardson, who agreed to a five-year, according to a person familiar with the discussions. The 6-foot, $40 million deal with $20 million guaranteed, 175-pound Richardson set career highs with 44 catches for 703 yards and six touchdowns last season.
Washington also retained backup wide receiver Brian Quick with a new deal, the details of which were not immediately available. Veteran tight end Niles Paul,Womens Nick Vannett Jersey, however, has apparently seen his time in Washington come to an end after six seasons as he reportedly will sign with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Considering the Smith acquisition had been expected for weeks, the day was fairly slow from a Redskins perspective as several players at positions of need reportedly reached agreements elsewhere. The Philadelphia Eagles kept linebacker Nigel Bradham with a five-year deal. The New Orleans Saints reportedly signed former Eagles cornerback Patrick Robinson to a deal expected to be worth $20 million over four years with $10 million guaranteed. Former New York Jets linebacker Demario Davis agreed to a three-year,Womens Rees Odhiambo Jersey, $24 million deal with the Saints with $18 million guaranteed.
The cupboard of available players is far from bare, though, linebacker and safety still available. Former Miami Dolphins standout Ndamukong Suh, with talent at defensive line,Womens Frank Clark Jersey, former Seattle Seahawks veteran Sheldon Richardson and former Los Angeles Rams veteran Dominique Easley are a few big names at defensive tackle.

Former Miami Dolphins standout Ndamukong Suh,Womens Lavonte David Jersey, with talent at defensive line, former Seattle Seahawks veteran Sheldon Richardson and former Los Angeles Rams veteran Dominique Easley are a few big names at defensive tackle.
One unexpected free agent is Tyrann Mathieu, a safety for the Arizona Cardinals, who was released by the team after a failed effort to restructure his contract.
“I’ve never made a secret that Tyrann has always had a special place in my heart and always will,Authentic O. J. Howard Jersey,” General Manager Steve Keim said. “While we all understand this is a part of the business, that certainly doesn’t make it any easier.”
The Cardinals would have been on the hook for $14 million on the salary cap for 2018 if Mathieu had been retained.
Mathieu, known as the Honey Badger, was a third-round pick out of Louisiana State, where he won the Chuck Bednarik award as best defensive player in the country.
He played five years for the Cardinals, peaking in 2015 with a Pro Bowl selection. He has had 11 interceptions in his career.
While the NFL offseason has been loaded with moves ahead of a unique draft that features up to five first-round-projected quarterbacks, teams are not done retooling their lineups. Teams like the New England Patriots have seen an exodus in recent days, while the Cleveland Browns are loaded with draft picks and salary-cap space, suggesting that more moves are on the way.
One major deal landed on Saturday night. Sources told that former Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Vinny Curry agreed to a three-year, $27 million deal with an $11.5 million injury guarantee with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who earlier in the week signed center Ryan Jensen to a four-year deal.
The free agent defensive tackle, who spent five seasons with the Detroit Lions and three seasons with the Miami Dolphins, visited New Orleans on Friday and Saturday.
In a video posting on Twitter, the five-time Pro Bowler said he was "super excited about the opportunity down there, lots to think about and on to the next one on the tour."
Suh, who has a $26.1 million cap hit in 2018, was released by the Dolphins on Wednesday. Aside from the Saints, the 31-year-old has reportedly drawn interest from the Tennessee Titans, Seattle Seahawks, Dallas Cowboys and the Eagles.
The Oakland Raiders releasedSean Smithamid news that the cornerback will plead guilty to a felony assault charge Tuesday and be sentenced to one year in prison.
The Raiders also released starting right tackle Marshall Newhouseon Monday.
Smith's legal issues stem from an incident with his sister's boyfriend last summer in Pasadena, California. Smith has agreed to plead guilty to a felony charge of assault with great bodily injury and will be sentenced to one year in prison and three years of probation, the attorney for the alleged victim confirmed to The Associated Press.
Smith, 30, Christopher Woods, was accused of assaulting his sister's then-boyfriend,Authentic Nick Vannett Jersey, on July 4. Two witnesses testified during a preliminary hearing in December that Smith stomped Woods' head as he lay bleeding and unconscious.
Attorney Jonathan Dennis said Woods "felt the sentence, obviously, was not as strict as it should have been,Authentic Rees Odhiambo Jersey, but he's pleased he's admitting guilt.''
The Raiders' move to release Smith saves the team $8.5 million on their salary cap. Entering Monday, Oakland had more than $16.5 million in salary-cap space. Smith was due base salaries of $8.25 million in 2018 and $8.75 million in 2019.

Last season, Smith struggled immediately, he lost his starting job to TJ Carrie before becoming one of the Raiders' better defenders in the last month of the season.
After John Pagano replaced Ken Norton Jr. as defensive playcaller,Authentic Lavonte David Jersey, Smith was used more to his strengths. Entering the season finale,Womens Mike Evans Jersey, Smith was ranked eighth in the NFL in passer rating allowed (36.3) among cornerbacks with at least 110 coverage snaps in Weeks 12-16, per Pro Football Focus. This after being ranked 109th in passer rating allowed in Weeks 1-11.
"Nothing has changed on my end," Smith told ESPN the last week of the season. "I guess I'm just on the field more."
Smith's two interceptions against the Dallas Cowboys on Dec. 17 led the Raiders,Authentic Mike Evans Jersey, who had only five picks on the year. He said he was only on the field in certain packages early in the season and could not get into the flow of a game as a result.
Smith, who played in 29 games (23 starts) in two seasons with the Raiders, joining David Amerson, had four interceptions for Oakland and is the second high-priced veteran cornerback released by the Raiders this offseason,Womens O. J. Howard Jersey, who was released last month. Amerson later signed with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Oakland is relying on last season's first-round pick, Gareon Conley, to fill the void at cornerback as he returns from a shin injury that limited him to two games. Carrie is a free agent.
A veteran of nine seasons, Smith has also played for the Miami Dolphins and Chiefs and has 14 career interceptions, 102 passes defensed and 424 tackles.
