Clay Matthews, Linebacker

Following his release from the Los Angeles Rams earlier this offseason, Clay Matthews has had no success finding a new home. Even with there being more than a few teams that could use his services, Matthews has been passed over.

The Redskins need to find more help on the edge and Matthews would be an ideal fit for them. Signing Matthews would not break the bank and it would provide Ron Rivera and company another much-needed playmaker.

Last season with the Rams, Matthews dealt with some injury issues, but still played in 13 games. He racked up 37 total tackles to go along with eight sacks, two forced fumbles, and three defended passes.

Washington could sign Matthews to be a pass-rusher or they could go after him as an inside linebacker. The veteran linebacker seems open to playing either role. This is an option that the Redskins should seriously consider.
