Jason La Canfora of the Washington Post is reporting tha the Washington Redskins are exploring available options for acquiring San Francisco wide receiver Brandon Lloyd, according to a source with knowledge of the situation, but completing such a deal could prove difficult because Lloyd is a restricted free agent.
Lloyd, 24, has been unable to agree to a long-term deal with the 49ers and is free to negotiate with any team, but he received a one-year qualifying offer from San Francisco that would require a first-round draft pick as compensation should he sign elsewhere. The Redskins do not have a first-round selection in next month’s draft, but could work out a package of other assets for the player and sign him to a multiyear contract. No trades can be completed until 12:01 a.m. Saturday, when teams can also begin contact unrestricted free agents from other clubs.
