Headed to Washington are guards Randy Thomas, late of the Jets, and Dave Fiore (49ers); DT Brandon Noble (Cowboys) and DE Regan Upshaw (Raiders); kicker John Hall (Jets); and QB Rob Johnson (Buccaneers).
Washington also acquired running back Trung Canidate in a trade with St. Louis on Friday.
Thomas got the biggest deal, worth $28 million for seven years, with a $7 million signing bonus.
"That's what I like about that guy - he set the table," Thomas said.
He's set it nicely for coach Steve Spurrier, who went 7-9 in his first season as an NFL coach. And Spurrier has warned there might be more action in Washington.
Another NFC East team had a successful Sunday as the New York
Giants agreed to terms with wide receiver Ike Hilliard. A source close to the team, who requested anonymity, said the receiver got a five-year, $12.5 million contract. The oft-injured Hilliard will get a $2.5 million signing bonus and will be paid an annual salary of $2.5 million.
Hilliard, who drew some interest from - surprise - the Redskins, suffered a season-ending shoulder injury in the seventh game on a late hit by Philadelphia Eagles safety Brian Dawkins.
St. Louis re-signed seven-time Pro Bowl cornerback Aeneas Williams, cut last week by the Rams, to a two-year deal.
