Redskins to bring back linebacker Jon Bostic

Redskins to bring back linebacker Jon Bostic

On the first day NFL teams can talk to free agents, the Washington Redskins moved to bring back one of their own, agreeing to a two-year, $6.6 million deal with linebacker Jon Bostic, according to multiple people with knowledge of the situation said.

The 28-year-old Bostic was an emergency one-year signing by the team last spring when Reuben Foster went down with a season-ending knee injury on the first day of offseason workouts. He played well, recording 105 tackles (56 of them solo) and intercepting one pass.

New Redskins Coach Ron Rivera said he was impressed with Bostic and had indicated that he would like to keep him. Four hours into Monday's contact period with free agents, Bostic and Washington agreed to the deal.

Earlier in the day, the Redskins lost a different player Rivera had said he wanted to keep, when guard Ereck Flowers agreed to a three-year, $30 million deal with the Miami Dolphins, according to Flowers's agent, Drew Rosenhaus.
