Renaldo Wynn Agrees To Terms With Skins

[SOUL-SKINS]

The veteran defensive lineman has agreed to terms on a one-year deal according to a league source. The Redskins have been interested in him for a while, and Wynn was a team leader prior to being cut before the 2007 season. Since then he's played with New Orleans and the New York Giants.

He provides a wealth of wisdom to a group of DEs that is pretty young overall, and he might end up reunited with his good friend, DE Phillip Daniels, as well, as the Redskins hope to re-sign that free agent to a cap friendly deal as well.

Wynn played in spot situations for the Giants, who boast the deepest line in the league, but here he joins Andre Carter as the only DE with any real NFL experience. Wynn is a run stuffer and solid technical player, but at this stage of his career is not going to provide much burst.

He is as popular as any player to come through this locker room this decade, and will be welcomed back by offensive and defensive players alike. With DL coach John Palermo struggling to adjust to the NFL game last year, according to numerous team sources, after a career in college, Wynn's age and expertise should be a bonus in that regard as well.

The deal may not end up becomming official until next week, according to the source, with Wynn expected to join Washington's offseason workout program at that point. He spend offseasons in Las Vegas, but also has a home in this area from his playing days here.
