"The Washington Redskins recovered with a Day 3 flurry in free agency, topped by swiping a defensive lineman from a division rival.

The Redskins have signed former Dallas defensive lineman Jason Hatcher, his agent tweeted and the team confirmed. The four-year contract is worth $27.5 million, according to sources"

Hahah screw you jerrah!

"With Jason Hatcher off to Washington, the Cowboys must act quickly before the market for potential replacements dries up, writes Todd Archer. "

Honestly I'm okay with Hatcher going somewhere else. I'm always leery of players who have a sudden spike of production in their contract years.

Like Michael Bennet?

He would have been a nice add but really another DT is not needed. Especially one that is long in the tooth.

He had marked improvement every single year of his career.

Not even close. Gotta look at all the facts.

Michael Bennett in 2012 with Tampa Bay: 9 sacks, 14 QB hits, 48 hurries.

Michael Bennett in 2013 with Seattle: 8.5 sacks, 17 QB hits, 39 hurries.

Just glancing at that, you can legitimately say 2012 was slightly better than 2013 for him. Sure.

Now...

Michael Bennett's snaps in 2012: 985
Michael Bennett's snaps in 2013: 617

He played less than 2/3rds of the snaps with us as he did in Tampa Bay in 2012. He was WAY more effective on a per-snap basis with us than in his last season in Tampa Bay.


*By the way, this is why I'm a premium Pro Football Focus subscriber. The raw stats they have. Screw their grades, which are all over the place and can't be trusted; the $27/year is more than worth it for being able to grab information like this at a moment's notice.

He actually was exactly the same in Tampa Bay. Thank your lucky stars we got to correct a huge mistake and he decided we ARE in fact Costco if you're a kool kid.

He is in fact the rarest of rare... a DE that can play inside or outside a literal matchup nightmare especially when combined with end rushers and a 3 tech with push like Melton.

Michael Bennett is a slower version of Tommie Harris, and we're lucky to have him.
