Peyton Manning, Mario Williams and the biggest names have gotten their big deals in the first few waves of free agency. Pat Kirwan resets his best available list with restricted Mike Wallace and Lardarius Webb.
The Redskins released safety Oshiomogho Atogwe this offseason in a salary-cap move after he signed a big contract last year. He completed his seventh season in the NFL and first with the Redskins in 2011. He played in 13 games with eight starts in 2011, finishing with 66 tackles (43 solo) and three interceptions. He should land on his feet somewhere, but he will likely remain a low-end defensive back in IDP leagues. He should only be drafted with a late-round pick in deeper formats depending on where he plays. (Updated 4/25/12)
