Washington, recovering from a broken right leg, was rehabilitating at the team’s facility until he was offered a second-round restricted free agent tender earlier this month. He’s free to sign an offer sheet with another team, and the Jets would have a week to match it. The RFA signing period ends April 15. ... Per AP sports writer Dennis Waszak Jr., Washington is in Florida focusing on his rehab and his absence has nothing to do with Ryan's suggestion of a reduced role this fall. In Ryan’s estimation, Washington is expected to be used as a third-down back and a kickoff returner.
