A lot of the attention went to Adrian Peterson when the Redskins elected to sign him on Monday. This was sensible, as Peterson is a well-known player around the league, a former MVP, and a future Hall of Famer. That said, the team may have had a more impactful addition in an under-the-radar transaction at the same position.
According to the Redskins official website, the team waived depth offensive lineman Cameron Jefferson with an injury designation and added De’Veon Smith to the squad. Smith, a former undrafted free agent out of Michigan, has some upside and as a depth option and potential practice squad player, he could be a solid addition for the Redskins.
