Shanahan signs former Broncos draft pick

The Denver-to-Washington pipeline is open for business.

Let it be known: Center/guard Kory Lichtensteiger was the first signing of the Shanahan era. A fourth-round pick by Shanahan in 2008, the lightweight lineman was cut by Denver, then Minnesota last year.

Former Broncos running back coach Bobby Turner became Shanahan's first official coaching hire earlier Thursday.

I know you guys probably already know this or have seen this but did you notice... the part about Bobby Turner being Shanahans first official coaching hire Thursday? I didn't know this... I thought Kyle Shanahan was his first. Matter of fact I thought there were a few other coach's hired prior to Bobby? Lou Spanos, Richard Mann?

Are these people who have agreed to terms but have not come and signed their contract? Is that why Bobby is technically Shanahan's first hire?
