The Redskins re-signed restricted free agent safety Reed Doughty to a 1-year contract believed to be worth about $500,000. Last year was tough for Doughty, as he suffered a nerve injury in his back and played in only 4 games before ending his season on IR.
“We went back and forth with them and a couple other teams,” Butz said. “But in the end, Reed felt most comfortable with the Redskins.”
Doughty has fully recovered from surgery and is eager to put last season behind him, Butz said. He is expected to compete with second-year safety Chris Horton for a spot with the first team. Re-signing with the Redskins “gives Reed an opportunity to get back and show the high level he can play at,” Butz said.
Meanwhile, how cool is it that Dave Butz is Doughty’s agent? That’s Dave Butz, Jr., the son of one of the greatest Redskins of all time.
