The Facts: The Redskins re-signed Paul to a three-year contract worth up to $10 million Friday, reports NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, via a source informed of the deal.
Diehards Line:A converted wide receiver, Paul posted career highs across the board with 39 receptions, 507 yards and one touchdown in 2014. With starter Jordan Reed sidelined, Paul cleared 50 yards in five of the first seven games before disappearing in the final two months of the season. Paul offers premium insurance for Reed, who has missed 12 games due to concussions and severe hamstring pulls since the Redskins drafted him in 2013. And should Reed take a seat at some point again (which history suggests is likely), Paul become a viable option as a streaming TE or value play in daily games.
