Redskins In Negotiations With OLB Junior Galette

According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, the Redskins are in negotiations with free agent OLB Junior Galette about returning to Washington for the 2018 season.

This is the first reported interest in him since the free agent market officially opened.

Galette, 29, originally signed on with the Saints as an undrafted free agent out of Stillman back in 2010. The Saints later signed him to a massive four-year extension only to cut him loose less than a year into the new contract.

Galette signed on with the Redskins in 2015 but suffered multiple season-ending injuries. He’s testing the open market as an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

In 2017, Galette appeared in all 16 games for the Redskins and recorded 20 tackles, three sacks, a forced fumble and two pass defenses. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 31 edge rusher out of 106 qualifying players.

We have him featured in our Top 50 Available 2018 NFL Free Agents list.
