    Free agent defensive end Stephen Bowen has agreed to terms with the Washington Redskins, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. According to Schefter, Bowen will sign a five-year contract worth $27.5 million, with $12.5 million guaranteed. Signed by the Dallas Cowboys as an undrafted free agent out of Hofstra in 2006, the 6-foot-5, 306-pound Bowen has started 11 of 63 career games, totaling 72 tackles and 5.5 quarterback sacks. After earning the league minimum his first three seasons in the league, Bowen has received restricted free agent tenders at the "Second Round" level in each of the past two seasons, earning a total of $3.304 million in base salary. Bowen changed agents earlier this month, replacing Dallas-based Jordan Woy with Atlanta-based Pat Dye Jr. of SportsTrust Advisors.

    We really wanted to keep him, so Im not gonna trash the signing. Good player

    However it seems they are collecting DE's, unless they are backing off of Jenkins. And if they do, he is a Cowboy because word is it was Dallas VS Washington for Jenkins

    Long term, I would rather have Bowen, short term however, Jenkins would be a huge upgrade

    Ya, 5 million a year for 72 career tackles is a bit pricey lol

    Some are suggesting that the Skins overpaid for a player.

    Which is just ludicrous.
