Redskins agree to terms with WR Eddie Royal
By Mike Jones
The Washington Redskins have added yet another wide receiver to their roster, agreeing to terms with former Denver Broncos wideout Eddie Royal, according to a person familiar with the deal.
Royal signed for $12 million over two years, the person said.
The former Virginia Tech standout was drafted 42nd overall by Redskins Coach Mike Shanahan in 2008 when Shanahan was the head coach in Denver. That season, Royal had a career-high 91 catches for 980 yards and five touchdowns.
Royal also is a talented punt returner who averaged 16.2 yards per runback last season.
