Ahead of free agency, it seemed possible that the Washington Redskins and Ereck Flowers would agree to an extension. However, the two parties couldn’t get a deal done and Flowers went to the Miami Dolphins on a three-year deal worth $30 million total.
With Flowers gone, the Redskins had little depth left on their offensive line. They needed someone to challenge Wes Martin for the starting left guard job and a guy who could potentially be a backup interior lineman for the team.
And they may well have found one.
According to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, the Redskins are signing former Atlanta Falcons guard Wes Schweitzer to a three-year deal.
