The Washington Redskins have signed two players prior to their game against the Steelers.

Runningback Tiki Barber has signed a 1 year deal worth $850K

Quarterback Nate Davis has agreed to a 1 year deal worth $460K

Lets hear the thoughts of the GM of the Redskins on these moves, as well as hear a little from each player.

GM: I said earlier in the week I felt we needed more depth at our offensive skill positions, and that is what I am trying to add here. I am not expecting big things right away, of course, but if these guys can come in and add depth, as well as make the guys we have better through practice and competition, it can only help us.


Tiki Barber: I have been waiting patiently for my shot and I finally got it. I have been resting my body and I know I can come in fresh and help this running game tremendously. Not to mention I get to play the Giants twice (smirks).


Nate Davis: I'm excited to go to work. As far as I'm concerned I believe the quarterback competition is wide open. I haven't talked to the coaches yet, but I am confident in my self, and I know I can win this job if I am given the chance, I just can't wait to get out there.


GM: To make room for Tiki and Nate we unfortunately had to release a few guys who we know are good players. I hate to see them go and I wish them the best in their future endeavors.

The Steelers are looming as practice continues. Quarterback Rex Grossman gets the start against the feared defense. How will he and the rest of the team do against a team that is coming off a disappointing loss in the Super Bowl? Stay tuned....
