Redskins sign Malcolm Kelly and Durant Brooks

[Note by Skin Patrol, 07/12/08 9:15 AM EDT ] More signings and more thanks to Ach for getting the story up. Edited slightly, and tags added.

More good news: Kelly signed. So did our big-legged punter, Mr. Brooks. It helps explain why the sudden tripartite release after the Rinehart signing. I also heard a rumor that Brennan was just medically cleared to practice. Derek Devine is the other hopeful for the 3rd quarterback spot; he was on the practice squad (I think) at Seattle last year.

Malcom Kelly per Redskins.com:

The Washington Redskins today announced that they have agreed to terms with second-round selection Malcolm Kelly, the 51st overall selection in the 2008 National Football League Draft. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.

Durant Brooks per Redskins.com:

The Washington Redskins today announced that they have agreed to terms with sixth-round pick Durant Brooks. Terms of the contract were not disclosed. Brooks, the only punter selected in the 2008 NFL Draft and the 168th overall selection, is the sixth of the Redskins' 10 draft choices to sign or agree to terms.
