College football star Maurice Clarett gives rugby a try
John Keim
Updated: Thu, Mar 21, 2013
Maurice Clarett is making a comeback. Sort of. He's returning to sports, but not football. Instead, the former Ohio State star running back and one-time Mike Shanahan draft pick has turned to rugby. And he wants to make it onto the U.S. Olympic team. The shame of it for Clarett is if he had...

Robert Griffin III's injury was not the fault of the zone read option
John Keim
Updated: Wed, Mar 20, 2013
Nothing has changed regarding Robert Griffin III: He remains ahead of schedule; nobody knows for sure when he'll return; and he needs to avoid contact more. This won't change either: He'll continue running the zone read option. Which is as it should be. It wasn't the read option that got him...

John Keim
Updated: Wed, Mar 20, 2013
The Redskins filled a need; whether or not they solved a problem remains up for debate. Washington signed corner E.J. Biggers on Wednesday, giving them, if nothing else, depth at a position that was sorely lacking in quality players. But that likely won't stop the team's pursuit of another...

Thom Loverro: Redskins' quiet offseason suggests it's all in the family for Mike Shanahan
Thom Loverro
Updated: Wed, Mar 20, 2013
We really don't know anything about what goes on at Redskins Park. We get glimpses here and there, sometimes what the organization wants us to see, other times a sliver here and there of what the Redskins want to hide. It's sort of like the Kremlin in the high red days or Peking during Mao's...

NFL free agency decisions aren't just about the money
John Keim
Updated: Tue, Mar 19, 2013
The trouble with free agency is that a players' true motivation is revealed. Players who want to be great will work that way. Players who just want the money will be satisfied. So when you bemoan the Redskins' (forced) inactivity in free agency, just remember these two words: Albert...

For Redskins, no doubt Tony Pashos is tough
John Keim
Updated: Mon, Mar 18, 2013
Lineman put off surgery to play the 2011 season He wanted to establish a standard for his future child. Tony Pashos wanted a story ready for the future, when perhaps that child started complaining about a homework assignment, a rough day. Anything. What he endured on the job in 2011 would end...

Redskins remain in market for corners
John Keim
Updated: Sun, Mar 17, 2013
The cornerback they wanted returned to his former team. Once again two words prevented a deal between Aqib Talib and the Redskins: salary cap. It's getting old, but it remains true that salary cap space is the No. 1 issue for Washington this offseason. But eventually the Redskins need to land...

Thom Loverro
Updated: Fri, Mar 15, 2013
Washington Redskins coach and executive vice president Mike Shanahan and Denver Broncos executive vice president John Elway are tied at the hip of history. Critics of Shanahan will often point out that the coach has not won anything of note since the two Super Bowls he won with Elway at...

John Keim
Updated: Thu, Mar 14, 2013
Washington fills out roster as it waits on Davis The Redskins addressed a need. They also retained yet another veteran. It wasn't the most high profile of days for the Redskins, but at least it was productive. They signed free agent offensive tackle Jeremy Trueblood and re-signed linebacker...
