The Facts: The Redskins are interesting in bringing back Helu, but he "absolutely" will test the free-agent market, reports ESPN 980, adding Helu is 50-50 at best to return to Washington.
Diehards Line:Helu has averaged 4.4 yards per carry in four seasons with the Redskins while catching 129 passes and scoring 10 total touchdowns. He typically served as Washington's passing-down back and would certainly be well-suited to a similar role with another team. That said, he doesn't appear to be feature back material and he'll likely be offered accordingly.
