Pryor (finger) is signing a one-year, $8 million deal with Washington, NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rather than cashing in on his breakout season with a multi-year deal, Pryor is betting he can back it up and get a huge contract at this time next year. His decision is a bit surprising, but he'll still be handsomely paid for his services in 2017, helping the Redskins replace free-agent departures DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garcon. The team likely envisions a wideout trio comprised of Pryor, 2016 first-round selection Josh Doctson and slot maven Jamison Crowder. It's a trio with no shortage of upside, complemented by an excellent group at tight end. Kirk Cousins, who signed his franchise tender Friday, might now be more amenable to sticking around in Washington even if he doesn't get a long-term deal. He reportedly asked the team for permission to seek a trade. Meanwhile, Pryor is still recovering from finger surgery but should be healthy long before training camp.

I don't know how much is guaranteed but I do like the signing. Everyone likes to think the Skins are doomed without Garçon and DJax but if you follow how that offense ticks and who they have, they are still in very good shape (assuming Docston is as advertised).
