The Washington Redskins re-signed linebacker Zach Brown, the team announced Thursday. Brown signed a three-year contract with a max value of $24 million, a source told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Brown excelled in his first year in Washington, racking up a team-leading 127 total tackles, 2.5 sacks, and two passes defensed.

Allowing Brown to test the market was a risky strategy for Washington, who could have been left with a significant hole in the middle of its defense had he signed elsewhere.
