    Redskins add Thomas, Fiore to bolster off. line

    Never shy about trying to set a frenetic pace, Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder hit the ground running on Friday, the first day of the free agent signing period.

    Working quickly to shore up one of his team's most glaring deficiencies, the Redskins owner landed one of the premier veterans in the unrestricted class, with ESPN.com learning the team has reached a contract accord with star guard Randy Thomas.

    The four-year veteran, who spent his entire previous career with the New York Jets, agreed to a blockbuster seven-year, $28 million contract which includes a $7 million signing bonus. The deal, negotiated by agent Jimmy Sexton, will be officially signed on Friday evening.

    The deal makes Thomas, 27, one of the highest paid guards in NFL history. Sexton could have arranged at least six other visits for his coveted client, but Snyder wanted first shot at a deal, and quickly consummated it.
