The Facts:
Washington and three other restricted free agents received one-year contract offers Friday from the Cincinnati Bengals, giving the team control over whether they stay or go. WR Kevin Walter, FB Jeremi Johnson and OG Scott Kooistra also were tendered contracts, a move that allows the Bengals to match any offer they might receive from another team.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Washington fell behind rookie Chris Henry for the No. 3 receiving job last season. He was inactive for nine of the 16 regular-season games and had only 10 catches for 101 yards and a touchdown. But Henry faces marijuana possession charges in northern Kentucky and felony gun charges in Orlando, Fla., clouding his future with the team.
