Jones reports the Redskins have offered one-, two- and three- year contracts, but each deal includes low base salaries with salary incentives. Other teams have interest, but Jones reports their offers are similar to Washington's. It appears this standoff could last quite some time.

Need to get this done

It is interesting from this article that the Redskins have the opportunity to match any offer Gallette receives from other teams. I have a feeling this may drag out, if Gallette wants to wait and see if there is any team out there who gives him a better offer as a result of some type of injury.

However, I feel that Gallette just needs to take whatever deal gets offered, because he's basically in the same situation he was last year. While I believe the off-field stuff is not an issue any more, his season ending injury is likely giving teams a pause in making him an offer close to what he wants.
