O.J. Atogwe to Visit the Redskins


Free agent safety O.J. Atogwe will visit the Washington Redskins on Monday, Howard Balzer of 101 ESPN in St. Louis reports.

Atogwe was released by the St. Louis Rams on Friday, three days before an $8 million roster bonus came due.

A third-round pick out of Stanford by the Rams in 2005, Atogwe has started 75 of 88 games in his six-year NFL career, totaling 390 tackles, 5 quarterback sacks, and 22 interceptions.

The 29-year old free safety played for Redskins defensive coordinator Jim Haslett in St. Louis from 2006-08.

Chris Horton, Kareem Moore, and Kevin Barnes started at free safety for the Redskins in 2010, with Horton and Moore finishing the season on injured reserve.
