Redskins

Redskins HC Jay Gruden explained that while they pursued DL Calais Campbell before he agreed to a massive deal with the Jaguars, they feel good about their decision to sign Terrell McClain and Stacy McGee to contracts.

“We knew we had to try to package a couple guys and those were the top two guys we were trying to get,” Gruden said, via ESPN.com. “If we didn’t land the big fish, would you rather have one or two? You’d rather have two good ones. We feel good about the two good ones we got.”
