On Wednesday evening, the Detroit Lions announced that they have tendered exclusive rights free agent (ERFA) Charles Washington.
For the past two years, Washington has been a staple of the Lions’ special teams unit. He first joined the team as an undrafted rookie in 2016, but didn’t crack the gameday roster in 2017. He was used sparingly on defense that year, but he really started to get his feet wet as a gunner on special teams.
In 2018, Washington was exclusively a special teamer and finished the season with six total tackles.
