Redskins re-sign Niles Paul to 3-year contract

With free agency just around the corner, the Washington Redskins have made a move to ensure that one of their young offensive playmakers is kept off the open market.

As reported by Mike Garafolo of FOX Sports, the Redskins re-signed tight end Niles Paul to a three-year deal worth up to $10 million.

Paul has spent his entire four-year career in Washington, but wasn't able to carve out much of a role in the passing game his breakout 2014 campaign.

Having finished the year with 39 receptions for 507 yards and one touchdown, the Redskins evidently became confident in Paul's ability to continue his development going forward.
