From Jason Reid:
Veteran offensive lineman Jason Fabini plans to re-sign with Washington, a league source said today, providing depth for the offensive line with right guard Randy Thomas still recovering from triceps surgery. Contract terms were not immediately available.
Fabini filled in well while playing guard for the first time in his career last season, so the Redskins hoped he would return to the team next season. Fabini, a tackle for the first nine years of his 10-year career, was thrust into the starting lineup when Thomas tore his triceps in Week 2 against the Philadelphia Eagles.
He got off to a rough start (Fabini had consecutive false-start penalties on a key drive late in the first half) in relief of Thomas, but emerged as a key contributor of a makeshift offensive line that helped the Redskins win their last four games in the regular season and earn a playoff berth. Although not as athletic as Thomas, Fabini performed consistently while starting 13 games at right guard, line coach Joe Bugel said during the season. Fabini, who signed with the Redskins after playing for the Dallas Cowboys in the 2006 season, began his NFL career with the New York Jets under former coach Bill Pacells.
Fabini signed with Dallas in part because Parcells was there. With Parcells now the head of football operations for the Miami Dolphins, Fabini was among the free agents the Dolphins considered signing.
Fabini would be the fourth Redskins free agent to re-sign with the team. Backup quarterback Todd Collins, return specialist Rock Cartwright and punter Derrick Frost also have accepted new deals. The Redskins are awaiting a decision from wide receiver Reche Caldwell, who also has been offered a contract. Washington has not signed any free agents from other teams.
