Set to become a free agent when the new league year begins March 10, Brian Orakpo's time with the Washington Redskins is all but over.

Despite some recent contract negotiations between the two sides, Orakpo will reportedly not be back with the team in 2015, according to Dianna Marie Russini of NBC Washington.

Selected by the Redskins in the first round of the 2009 draft, Orakpo has spent his entire six-year career in Washington, tallying 40 sacks and 254 combined tackles in 71 games.

Though injuries have impacted his production of late, limiting him to just 24 games over the past three seasons, the 28-year-old remains a scheme-versatile edge defender that should generate some significant interest on the open market.
