Ashburn, VA (Sports Network) - The Washington Redskins have signed veteran wide receiver Mike Furrey.
Terms of the deal were not released.
Furrey spent last season with the Cleveland Browns and made 23 receptions for 170 yards in 16 games.
The 33-year-old broke into the NFL jersey with St. Louis in 2003 and caught 21 passes in his first two seasons before being switched to free safety in 2005 due to numerous injuries in the Rams secondary. As a defensive back, he made 48 tackles and recorded four interceptions in his lone campaign.
Furrey switched back to offense and had his best season with the Lions in 2006, when he caught 98 passes for 1,086 yards and six scores, all single- season bests. He played the next two years with Detroit before joining Cleveland as a free agent in May, 2009.
