Keim: Redskins Have Leverage In Signing Galette

[redskinsfan]

Junior Galette has the talent, but Redskins maintain the leverage

Want a great example of Scotty's savoir-faire as a GM? Look no further than the right-of-first-refusal in Galette's contract for 2016. This allows us to match whatever he may fetch on the open market. As reported by other media outlets, that market hasn't offered him any more better deals than what the Redskins have offered him. Unless things change, it'll only be a matter of time before he comes and signs on the dotted line.

Which is why Keim opines that the possibility of re-signing with the Redskins is "strong."

In his mind he feels he's worth a lot more than he is. What happens if he sits out the year? Does that void the right-of-first-refusal for next year or is he still on the hook for it?
