Washington Redskins could be interested in DE Leonard Little

St. Louis Rams defensive end Leonard Little is currently deciding whether he wants to retire or return to the National Football League and test the free-agent market. If Little decides to return to the NFL, he could have a handful of options.

According to 101 ESPN:

As the new defensive coordinator in Washington, Jim Haslett has let it be known that he believes Little is still good for 10+ sacks a season–provided he stays healthy and is used appropriately.

The situation is similiar with the Rams–who have made it clear to Little they would like him back if intends to play in 2010.

Little missed three games due to injury last year, but still led the Rams with 6.5 sacks. It’s that ability that should keep him effective on pass rush downs.

With 87.5 career sacks, the idea of 100 sacks is an achievable goal–but Little has shared that he wouldn’t return to chase after any statistical goals, playing the game was about winning and having fun.

So, the money would be waiting for Little if he decides to return. The Super Bowl XXXIV champion is 35-years-old and coming off of a season in which he tallied 6.5 sacks, one interception and a touchdown in 13 games.
