Source: Clifton to visit Redskins
The Washington Redskins will try to move quickly to fill the void left by the retirement of left tackle Chris Samuels(notes) by having free agent Chad Clifton(notes) visit Friday, an NFL source said.
Clifton is weighing whether to return to Green Bay or sign with a new team after receiving an offer worth approximately $5 million a year from the Packers. Clifton is hoping for somewhere closer to $7 million per season with at least $20 million in the first three years of any deal.
Clifton has played his entire 10-year career with the Packers, who are in danger of losing the two starters from the left side of their line. The Packers put only a second-round tender on restricted free agent guard Daryn Colledge(notes) and he may receive interest from another team, multiple NFL sources said this week.
The Redskins officially lost Samuels to retirement Thursday after he underwent an injury-plagued 2009 season.
---------------
I guess this is a step in the right direction but the guy is 33 years old so it's not exactly long term. I still want a O-Lineman or two in the draft.
