Looks like Washington is no longer interested in P.P
The Washington Redskins' urgency to re-sign defensive tackle Daryl Gardener probably increased yesterday when the Buffalo Bills used the franchise tag on wide receiver Peerless Price.
Price, 26, had 94 catches for Buffalo last season and was set to be the class of an otherwise weak group of unrestricted free-agent wide receivers. There were strong indications that Washington was preparing to make a run at him and add some star power and much-needed speed to coach Steve Spurrier's receiving corps.
But the franchise tag essentially takes Price off the market, forcing any team that signs him away from Buffalo to forfeit two first-round draft picks.
