Ted

Washington

While both are expected to play, their absence would be huge for the San Diego offense.

Oakland and Washington both play 4-3 defenses, which don’t take advantage of Ted’s strengths. Washington is currently unwilling to come down from his three-year, $8 million proposal he made in November.

Washington should be fine for next week.

Follow free agent bust Warren Sapp sat out the fourth quarter with a sprained ankle.

Neither player was able to finish Sunday’s game.

The deal includes a $4 million signing bonus. The Raiders are overpaying for a 36 year-old with leg injuries two years in a row. That said, this a blow to the Patriots 3-4 defense.

Washington wasn’t on Cleveland’s injury report once this season, but was no longer of use due to ineffectiveness. Ethan Kelley has taken over as the Browns’ starting nose, with undrafted rookie Louis Leonard backing him up. A free agent after the year, Washington, 39, will probably call it a career.

Despite his age and limitations with playing time, both Cleveland and Baltimore want Washington on board.
