Franklin signed a contract with the Redskins on Saturday, Brian McNally of the Richmond Times-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Franklin spent less than a week with the Saints in training camp, but has surprising been a free agent since being released by the Chargers in May. The Redskins have six offensive lineman on their injury report this week, which could press the 29-year-old into a significant role early on with his new team.
