The Facts: After a pleasantly surprising comeback season last year, the Redskins have signed Vernon Davis to a new deal, the team announced Wednesday. According to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport, the deal is for three years and is worth $15 million.

Diehards Line: At 32, Davis put up 44 catches for 583 yards and two touchdowns last season. His 74.6 catch rate was the highest of his career. Should Washington see Pierre Garcon and DeSean Jackson depart as expected, it can still count on being effective between the hashes. Davis was a more-than-suitable complementary player to star tight end Jordan Reed a year ago and still knows how to get open after 11 years in the league.
