Tanard Jackson Re-Signed by Redskins

The Redskins have re-signed Tanard Jackson after his surprising release from the team. It would appear Bruce Allen was serious about giving him a second chance, just on a more Redskins friendly deal.

Many fans hope Jackson will contribute to the struggling safety group, but he has had issues staying on the field due to drug suspensions.

Yes, Tanard Jackson has been re-signed by the #Redskins, team source confirms @NBCdianna report

Likely that the #Redskins cut Jackson to re-sign him to minimum salary benefit deal. About same $$ to him but less against cap.

Why do it this way? Was told: Money; cheaper contract... Jackson was not expensive 2 begin with but now even less expensive I suppose...
