ASHBURN, Va-- Warrick Holdman re-signed with the Washington Redskins on Tuesday, giving the team another candidate for the starting weakside linebacker position following the departure of LaVar Arrington.
Holdman was the opening day starter last season, but he did not have much of an impact on the defense and lost the job in November after Arrington fully recovered from a knee injury. Holdman played in 14 games with seven starts and made 38 tackles. Arrington became a free agent in March. Chris Clemons, who re-signed earlier this month, is also a contender to take the weakside spot. Coaches could also use both players regularly, with Holdman on the field for rushing downs and Clemons on passing downs.
Holdman joined the Redskins as a free agent a year ago. He previously played five seasons for Chicago and one for Cleveland
