Free agent defensive end Junior Galette is likely gone from the Redskins and Browns GM John Dorsey said the team is discussing the possibility of signing Galette. "We're in conversation," Dorsey said. "It's not closed yet. His agent is here, and I was going to sit and talk with him today a little bit and just kind of feel him out." Galette managed three sacks last season, his first action since 2014 due to back-to-back Achilles' tears. [...]

Washington Redskins linebacker Junior Galette has fallen out of favor and Redskins VP Doug Williams said the team is moving on from Galette. That appeared to be the case after Washington withdrew their contract offer last week, but Williams confirmed it in an interview on Sunday. Playing for the first time since 2014 because of back-to-back torn Achilles, Galette only recorded three sacks last season, but he did create consistent pressure. He would be a good get for a pass-rush needy team.

Free agent outside linebacker Junior Galette will not be offered a contract by the Washington Redskins, according to Darin Gantt of Pro Football Talk. Washington reportedly had a change of heart once other teams showed interest. It is unsurprising the Browns and Rams are among those interested in Galette since he has ties to Browns personnel consultant Scot McCloughan, who brought Galette to Washington, and Rams LB coach Joe Barry, who was Galette's defensive coordinator with the Redskins.

With week seven in the books we are more than halfway through the fantasy football regular season and the Individual Defensive Player world continues to be a difficult one to define. Injuries continue to batter IDP rosters and the latest one is a doozy, with Dallas middle linebacker Sean Lee going down for the season. IDP owners are scrambling to figure out just who benefits from the loss of their stud players and often are left empty handed. There are rarely top-notch ‘handcuff' options on defenses that can step in and fill the shoes of the injured star. It is often necessary to try and snag a couple of players off the waiver wire to cover one major blow to an IDP roster. That's why it is vital to identify the sleeper candidates to step in and fill the shoes of not only bye week players but also the injured and benched. So let's get to it and go '53 Deep'. DEFENSIVE LINEMEN Ray McDonald, DE, SAN FRANCISCO, at ARIZONA: McDonald does not have the gaudiest stats to date in 2012 with only 12 combined tackles and half a sack to his credit. What he does have is a week eight match-up with the Arizona Cardinals and that is a very good thing for defensive ends. The Cardinals give up sacks in bunches and McDonald did put up five and a half sacks in 2011 and should be good for at least one during this Monday Night Football showdown. Junior Galette, DE, NEW ORLEANS, at DENVER: Galette leads the Saints with four sacks this season and is riding a streak of registering a sack in each of the last two games. He has also forced a fumble and added ten solo tackles in six games this season. He has really blossomed in his second NFL season and benefits from the attention paid to fellow lineman Cameron Jordan and Will Smith. Look for Galette to get to Peyton Manning at least once in week eight. Kamerion Wimbley, DE, TENNESSEE, vs. INDIANAPOLIS: This is another ‘strike while the iron is hot' selection as Wimbley is coming off a big week seven performance. He put up six total tackles, one sack and forced a fumble against Buffalo. The Colts have given up 11 sacks over the last three games and Wimbley looks ready to rip off a string of good games as he finally turns his quarterback hurries into actual sacks. Jerel Worthy, DT, GREEN BAY, vs. JACKSONVILLE: The rookie from Michigan State is having a very nice rookie season for the Packers and should have a big game against the struggling (I am being nice here) Jaguars offense. Worthy has been stout at the point of attack and ...
