The Washington Redskins were busy Wednesday — bringing back a familiar face and releasing two players to free up more than $8 million in salary cap space.
Washington re-signed running back Adrian Peterson to a two-year, $8 million deal and cut linebacker Zach Brown and defensive lineman Stacy McGee.
The Redskins and Peterson were both interested in a reunion, given the 33-year-old ran for 1,042 yards in 2018 — his best season in years. Peterson joined Washington last August after second-rounder Derrius Guice suffered a season-ending torn ACL.
