The Washington Redskins have added yet another running back to their roster this offseason, signing former Tampa Bay Buccaneer Peyton Barber on Tuesday.
Barber has had a decent career in Tampa Bay, and he led the team in rushing in 2018, racking up, 11 touchdowns over the past two seasons. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, he will be signing a two-year contract with the Redskins that is worth $3 million, with $600K guaranteed.
Barber is now one of six running backs on the Redskins depth chart, joining Adrian Peterson, Derrius Guice, Bryce Love, J.D. McKissi and Josh Furgeson. Assuming that all area healthy by the start of the 2020 season, it will be extremely interesting to watch the battle for carries play out.
