| Washington, D.C. (Best E Casino) - The Washington Redskins signed free agent safety Stuart Schweigert, the team announced on Monday. To make room for Schweigert, the Redskins released linebacker Rian Wallace. The 27-year-old Schweigert recorded a career-high 107 tackles in 2006 with Oakland. His production decreased in 2007 when he recorded just 69 tackles to go with two interceptions after losing his starting job late in the season. Schweigert played four seasons in Oakland before being released on May 21. For |

| Eden Prairie, MN (Best E Casino) - The Minnesota Vikings traded defensive end Erasmus James to the Washington Redskins for a conditional seventh-round pick in the 2009 NFL Draft on Tuesday. Minnesota had waived James on Friday, but rescinded that transaction Tuesday, and Washington was able to acquire the 6-foot-4, 266-pounder before he hit the free agent market. James was the Vikings' first-round pick in the 2005 draft, but has been slowed by knee injuries. Minnesota acquired Pro Bowl defensive end Jared Allen |

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) -Less than a month after being drafted, Washington Redskins tight end Fred Davis stepped behind a podium Tuesday and performed a familiar professional sports ritual: the prearranged, contrite apology. Davis apologized to owner Dan Snyder, coach Jim Zorn and his Redskins teammates for the ``minor mistake'' of missing a minicamp practice May 4. The second-round draft pick from Southern California said he overslept after switching hotel rooms the night before. ``It was something that was irre |

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) -The Washington Redskins released former Pro Bowl kick returner Jerome Mathis on Thursday and signed undrafted rookie defensive end J.T. Mapu. Mathis signed with Washington early last month, making him the only player from another team to join the Redskins during an unusually quiet free agency period before the draft. He made his practice debut during this month's minicamp. Mapu had 65 tackles, three sacks, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in four years at Tennessee. He attende |

MIAMI (AP) - Prosecutors said Monday they will not seek the death penalty against four people charged with murdering Washington Redskins star Sean Taylor because the accused shooter was a minor when the crime was committed. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that people cannot be executed for crimes committed when they're under 18, and it's a well established legal principle that others involved in the same case as a minor cannot face the ultimate penalty if they are less directly responsible.
