The Facts:
According to multiple sources, the Redskins are interested in Britt, whose career to date has been marked by an inability to maximize his so-called potential. A team source also said the Redskins are interested in restricted free agent receiver Andrew Hawkins. They also could be in on free agent running back Darren Sproles, according to BleacherReport's Mike Freeman.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As ESPN.com's John Keim suggests, none of these names should be surprising given that the first two have been attached to the Redskins for some time. Hawkins played for Redskins HC Jay Gruden in Cincinnati. Hawkins is restricted, but the Bengals gave him a low tender. Britt, meanwhile, is a classic case of signing a guy just in case he finally achieves what many thought he might upon being a first-round pick in 2009. He's caught 157 passes in five seasons but never more than 45, and in three seasons he's played in 12 games or fewer. He tore his ACL in 2011, and the knee has reportedly been an issue since that time. Britt also has had multiple run-ins with the police since entering the league and was suspended for one game in 2012 after an arrest on suspicion of DUI.
