Washington reaches an agreement with free agent DT Kemoeatu. Joe Fortenbaugh
Look out everybody.
Washington has entered the free agent pool.
Free agent defensive tackle Maake Kemoeatu and the Redskins have agreed to a two-year deal worth $7 million, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com.
Kemoeatu—an eight-year veteran out of Utah—missed all of the 2009 season with the Carolina Panthers due to a torn right Achilles tendon he suffered last August.
The 6’5”, 345-pound defensive tackle will add some serious beef to the Redskins defensive front—a unit that already features Pro Bowler Albert Haynesworth.
Washington ranked 16th in the NFL against the run last season, allowing 112.4 yards per game.

Seems like an acceptable risk. NTs don't grow on trees. Maybe they can pick up another one in the draft. This does seem to confirm the switch to a 3-4, so they need to get what they can fro Andre Carter in a trade. Unfortunately, he has a no trade clause, but he doesn't like the 3-4 so should be amenable to going somewhere else.
Hope Maake returns to form, it would be a move that would set Allen ahead of schedule by warp factors. that would probably add another year to Fletcher's career also.
I would much rather have Ted Ginn any day! Please Miami, don't sign Bryant! They need to take that first pick and draft Dez Bryant or my personal favorite Demaryius Thomas!!!!! Go Fins!!!

Interesting move -- risky, of course, coming off an injury. NTs are obviously hard to come by, and one assumes this now means Haynesworth will move to DE.
