The Redskins haven't made an effort to sign free agent RT Eric Winston this offseason.
Winston has been linked to the 'Skins in each of the last two offseasons because he played for Kyle Shanahan in Houston. Now Shanahan is running the same blocking scheme in Washington. The Washington Post says that Winston's price tag seems to have a lot to do with their lack of interest right now.

Free agent RT Eric Winston is working out for the Dolphins on Wednesday.
The sides have been talking on the phone for over a month, but might finally be ready to go steady. Winston is just the latest in a parade of post-draft tackle visits to South Beach, joining Tyson Clabo, Winston Justice and Bryant McKinnie. The Dolphins are either trying to leverage the Chiefs in Branden Albert talks, or are ready to move on and install a veteran opposite potential LT Jonathan Martin.

The Titans hosted RT Eric Winston for a free-agent visit on Monday.
The match makes sense if the Titans had designs on cutting David Stewart, who is one of the highest paid right tackles in football. Stewart is still playing at a high level, though. It's unclear if Winston received a contract offer.

Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland expects to sign a veteran free agent at tackle.
The Dolphins have reportedly maintained a "steady dialogue" with free agent Eric Winston. "There are some options out there," Ireland said. "I have some things up my sleeve that might work out. We're going to have to fill the need probably with a veteran guy on the street at some point." Martin wouldn't be a viable candidate at left tackle. Ireland hasn't closed the door on acquiring Kansas City's Branden Albert.

Executive VP Stephen Jones says the Cowboys are still interested in free agent RT Eric Winston.
"He's obviously somebody that we're taking a look at," Jones said in a Tuesday radio interview. Jones made sure to add "we certainly haven't dismissed Doug (Free)." The Cowboys and Winston have been dancing for over a week, but haven't come close to an agreement. They won't until Winston's price comes down.

ESPN Dallas gets the sense that free agent RT Eric Winston is "too pricey" for the Cowboys.
"[His] price needs to come down," tweets beat writer Calvin Watkins. The Cowboys' interest in Winston seems genuine, but the 29-year-old is still not budging from his asking price of a multi-year deal at $3-4 million per year. Winston likely won't have a home until after the draft.

The Cowboys have been in contact with free agent RT Eric Winston, though no signing is imminent.
Reports that the Cowboys were in contract discussions with Winston weren't true, but the club has been in contact with the right tackle, and is using his situation as leverage in talks with current starter Doug Free. The second best tackle on the market, Winston is willing to play for $3-4 million -- half of the $7 million Free is scheduled to make. The Dolphins also remain interested, but are believed to be waiting until after the draft to make a decision.

Free agent RT Eric Winston discussed salary with the Chargers last month, but said "things kind of fell through."
Winston has since revealed that he's seeking between $3M-$4M on a short-term deal. That was apparently too steep for the Chargers, who have incumbent right tackle Jeromey Clary signed for $4 million this season. "I don't think I'm asking for pie in the sky numbers," Winston said. "Middle of the road is fine. But, it's also frustrating from the sense of, there's still a lot of teams with a lot of money to spend, but it doesn't seem like anyone wants to spend it."
