Redskins re-sign Chris Thompson, but still seeking backfield help
The Washington Redskins will continue looking for another running back. What they don't need is someone just to handle third-down duties, after re-signing Chris Thompson on Friday.
Thompson, who had been a restricted free agent, signed his second-round tender, which guarantees him $2.746 million. Had another team signed him, they would have had to forfeit a second-round pick. That leaves linebacker Will Compton as the only unsigned restricted free agent, but he's expected to sign his deal soon. Compton received an original-round tender, but because he was an undrafted free agent the Redskins would not have received any compensation.
