The Facts: After failing to trade for Bengals receiver Chad Johnson, the Redskins opted instead to spend two second-round draft picks. Last week, the team signed receiver Malcolm Kelly. A league source tells us that, as of this morning, an agreement was reached with Thomas. It’s a four-year deal, with a $2.7 million signing bonus. The total value on the deal is $4.833 million.
Diehards Line:As PFT's Mike Florio notes, Thomas and Kelly both were regarded as potential first-round picks. However, no receiver was drafted in round one for the first time since 1990. With Santana Moss and Antwaan Randle El still on hand, Thomas (the 34th pick out of Michigan State) and Kelly (the 51st selection out of Oklahoma) will square off this preseason for that third spot.
