Gallen5862 Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Yoder was resigned acording to Washington Post. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dy...7031301457.html PRO FOOTBALL Redskins, Tight End Yoder Agree to Contract Terms Wednesday, March 14, 2007; Page E02 The Washington Redskins agreed to contract terms with free agent tight end Todd Yoder, according to his agent, Tim Irwin, making him a leading candidate to serve as Chris Cooley's primary backup. The three-year deal, with base salaries believed to be near the veteran minimum, is likely to be announced by the team in the coming days and ends weeks of conversations between the sides. Buy This Photo Todd Yoder, who caught a touchdown against the Redskins in 2003 while with Tampa Bay, agreed to a deal to spend a second season in Washington. (By John Mcdonnell -- The Washington Post) THE OFFSEASON Starter Jason Campbell will get an offseason education at the Redskins version of quarterback school. The Redskins agree to contract terms with free agent tight end Todd Yoder. After one unproductive season as a Redskin, T.J. Duckett signs with the Detroit Lions. The Redskins sign offensive lineman Ross Tucker but are still searching for Derrick Dockery's replacement. The Redskins release kicker John Hall and save nearly $1.5 million on the salary cap. The Redskins are in hot pursuit of cornerback Dre Bly and remain in constant trade talks with the Denver Broncos. Fred Smoot is happy to be a Redskin again and acknowledges making a mistake in leaving after the 2004 season. THE LOST SEASON Part III: Assistant head coach for defense Gregg Williams presides over a Redskins' defense that falls flat on its face in 2006. Part II: Coach Joe Gibbs handpicked Al Saunders to update the Redskins' offense, but their dueling philosophies created tension. Part I: By choosing to bring in high-priced free agents and letting several key players leave, the Redskins have alienated many team members.

RedditFacebook Yoder, who turns 29 next week, was signed by Washington last September and assumed a larger role in the second half of the season after a season-ending injury to tight end Christian Fauria. Yoder missed all of 2005 because of a knee injury. He entered the league in 2000 with Tampa Bay as an undrafted free agent out of Vanderbilt. Yoder caught his only pass in Washington's 10th game last season -- a touchdown from Jason Campbell at Tampa Bay-- but at 6 feet 4, 262 pounds, filled a blocking role in two-tight end formations. Yoder has 29 catches for 304 yards and 3 touchdowns in his career. The Redskins could still look for additional talent at tight end, as the club hopes to get Cooley even more involved in the downfield passing attack next season. The Redskins are continuing to monitor veteran free agent offensive linemen after the departure of starting left guard Derrick Dockery, but few proven players remain on the market. -- Jason La Canfora Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#21Taylor4Ever Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Yep. Yoder is ours!!! Redskins re-signed TE Todd Yoder to a three-year contract. Yoder, Chris Cooley's backup, made Christian Fauria expendable earlier this offseason. His only catch in 2006 went for a four-yard touchdown.

skinsman4u Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Cooley is the only TE on the roster at the moment isn't he? Kozlowski and Fauria were cut. Yoder remains unsigned. Sellers is listed as a FB but can play TE. Oh wait, we have Eric Edwards, formerly of the Cardinals.............knew there was some hope in case Yoder moves on You're kidding Faurie was cut? And remeber Kozloski dropped 6 in Dallas. Yep, during the 04 season, at Dallas yep it was a curl route Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibbsfan2018 Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 He was out for the entire 2005 year and he did a good job of blocking and when he is in the redzone does a good job or catching the ball. I don't think we should pursue any of the FA TE and just bring him back onboard for a 3 yr. deal. Thoughts everyone. Good call!!!:applause: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
