Regarding Evans, head coach Jim Zorn said: “I think some players have to go find a financially competitive place that can compete with what we’re [offering]. And then they have to find a place they feel they can go and win.

-- Redskins Hope to Re-sign Kendall

Even though the Redskins have signed Derrick Dockery to start at left guard, the team is still interested in bringing back Pete Kendall, the lineman who preceded him.

Head coach Jim Zorn said he expected to telephone Kendall soon to discuss a role with team.

Kendall, who has played for the Redskins the last two years, is an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

“We’re hoping he comes back to us at some point and then we can see what we can do," Zorn said.

Kendall’s role would likely be as a backup guard and center. If Randy Thomas is slow to return from neck surgery this offseason, then it’s also possible that Kendall could slide into right guard.

-- Doughty, Geisinger Not Tendered

The Redskins did not tender minimum level contracts to restricted free agents Reed Doughty and Justin Geisinger prior to Feb. 27.
