NFL | Junior Galette may retire Mon May 21, 12:03 PM
Free-agent LB Junior Galette (Redskins) has received some offers this offseason but has not signed with a team because he is considering retirement.
| Footballguys view: Three offers on the table for Galette to be exact, but it sounds like they aren't enough for the veteran pass rusher. He was injured for all of 2015 and 2016, but he played for Washington in 2017 and notched 3.0 sacks and 20 total tackles as a part-time player. We'll see if he walks away from the game or is tempted to play for another team in 2018. |

Browns | Cleveland contemplating Junior Galette? Mon Mar 26, 08:03 PM
The Cleveland Browns are reportedly discussing the possibility of signing free-agent LB Junior Galette (Redskins), according to general manager John Dorsey.
| Footballguys view: If healthy, Galette has the ability to create a lot of pressure on opposing quarterbacks. He missed 2015 and 2016 due to back-to-back Achilles' tears but was able to get through 16 games last year for Washington. He managed only 3.0 sacks last year, but could push for 7-plus sacks in the right role. |

| Footballguys view: No surprise here after Washington withdrew their contract offer last week. Galette can create pressure on opposing quarterbacks if healthy and should get some interest on the open market. |

Redskins | Junior Galette making progress Tue May 16, 02:19 PM
Washington Redskins LB Junior Galette (Achilles') has begun running and lifting, but he is expected to be held out of team drills until training camp, according to head coach Jay Gruden. Ultimately, when Galette returns will be up to Galette and the team trainers.
| Footballguys view: If Washington can get anything out of Galette this year they should consider it a bonus. He's missed the last two seasons fully due to Achilles' problems and may never be the player he used to be. We should get an update on his status around the start of training camp. |

Redskins | Junior Galette targeting training camp Wed Mar 22, 12:28 AM
Washington Redskins LB Junior Galette (Achilles') has been training 'in hopes of taking the field with his teammates by the start of training camp, if not sooner,' according to Mike Jones of the Washington Post. He hasn't played a single down since the 2014 season.
| Footballguys view: Who knows what Galette has to offer at this point. If healthy (a BIG if), Galette could work as a part-time pass-rusher for Washington. |

Redskins | Junior Galette back on one-year deal Sat Feb 25, 11:42 AM
The Washington Redskins have agreed to terms with LB Junior Galette on a one-year deal worth $800,000. He will make a base salary of $775,000 and will receive a $25,000 workout bonus.
| Footballguys view: Galette hasn't played since 2014 due to back-to-back Achilles' injuries. Washington gets a low-cost option here with Galette, and he should be able to outperform his contract if healthy in 2016. |

Redskins | Junior Galette returning to Redskins Tue Jan 31, 05:40 PM
Washington Redskins impending free-agent LB Junior Galette announced Tuesday, Jan. 31, that he will re-sign with Washington Wednesday, Feb. 1.
| Footballguys view: Galette's contract will be his third with Washington despite not yet playing a regular season down for the team. He has torn each of his achilles tendons the last two summers after leaving the Saints under the shadow of a domestic violence incident. He would provide the defense with much needed edge rush presence if he can return to form in 2017. |

Redskins | Greg Hardy not an option for Redskins Tue Jul 26, 03:56 PM
Free-agent DE Greg Hardy (Cowboys) is not being considered by the Washington Redskins to replace LB Junior Galette (Achilles'), according to a source. Galette is out for the season with a torn Achilles' tendon.
| Footballguys view: Hardy has gotten little interest on the open market as teams don't want to deal with his off-field baggage. Washington's pass rush was negatively impacted by the loss (again) of Galette, but even they aren't desperate enough to add Hardy. |

Redskins | Junior Galette out for season Mon Jul 25, 03:34 PM

| Footballguys view: Galette has been with Washington for two seasons, and each one of them has ended with no games played due to an Achilles' injury. This year, reports indicate it is the right Achilles' that is injured whereas last year it was his left Achilles' that was hurt. Washington's pass rush is negatively impacted with this injury. |

Washington Redskins LB Junior Galette (Achilles') looked explosive without pads during offseason activities, according to The Washington Post's Mike Jones. Galette is expected to be ready for training camp on his way back from a torn Achilles' tendon.
| Footballguys view: Washington should be easy on Galette when he does return to the practice field as his status for the beginning of camp is in question. The team is likely to ease him back in, and he should begin the season as a part-time pass-rusher. He'll be almost a year removed from the injury when the regular season starts. |

Washington Redskins impending free-agent LB Junior Galette (Achilles') fired his agent Peter Schaffer, putting his talks with the Redskins on hold for now. Galette remains intent on re-signing, and he would like a one-year prove-it deal after suffering a torn Achilles' tendon.

Redskins | Junior Galette joining roster Fri Jul 31, 12:07 PM
Updating previous reports, free-agent LB Junior Galette (Saints) will sign a one-year contract with the Washington Redskins, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Washington lost Brian Orakpo in free agency, although injuries had kept Orakpo from having a huge impact lately. Galette is instantly the second-best edge rusher on the roster and should help the Washington pass defense. He signed a league minimum deal, which he can afford to after getting 20+ million guaranteed from the Saints last year. |

Redskins | Junior Galette to visit 'Skins Thu Jul 30, 01:10 AM
Free-agent LB Junior Galette (Saints) will visit the Washington Redskins Thursday, July 30. He will take a physical and meet with team officials.
| Footballguys view: Released by the Saints last week, Galette could draw some interest from other teams even though he's had trouble off the field. Washington is looking for a pass-rusher to use opposite of Ryan Kerrigan, and coming off a 10-sack season Galette could be that guy. |

Saints | Junior Galette seeking another opinion Fri Jun 5, 12:30 PM
New Orleans Saints LB Junior Galette (pectoral) is likely to have a decision on surgery in the next week or so. Doctors are split on whether he should have surgery, and he's seeking another opinion.
| Footballguys view: The reports out of New Orleans seem to indicate we could be a "week or so" away from a decision. If he needs surgery, Galette will miss a significant amount of the season. |

Saints | Junior Galette could be out a while Thu Jun 4, 06:59 PM
New Orleans Saints LB Junior Galette (pectoral) recently suffered an injury to his pectoral and is supposedly considering surgery, according to sources. The cause and extent of Galette's injury is unknown at this time.
| Footballguys view: Any sort of surgery on the pectoral muscle could cost Galette six months for recovery. It would be a crushing blow for the Saints defense as Galette led the team with 10 sacks in 2014. Starting the season on the PUP list (forcing him to miss the first six weeks) may be the plan for Galette. |
