Washington Redskins re-sign offensive lineman Zac Kerin
The Washington Redskins continued to add depth to their offensive line on Tuesday. They agreed to re-sign Zac Kerin, a player that served as interior depth for them late last season.
The Redskins are continuing to build their team for the 2019 season, and they have made a couple of moves on the offensive line the last two days. First, they signed former first-round pick Ereck Flowers, a Giants and Jaguars castoff. On Tuesday, they made another move to help their interior line.
According to NBC Sports Washington’s JP Finlay, the team re-signed interior lineman Zac Kerin. He played in two games last season for the Redskins and made one start late in the year.
This move doesn’t have a lot of upside, but at least Washington is keeping some continuity on the offensive line.

Kerin, a former undrafted free agent out of Toledo, has been in the league since 2014. He played for the Minnesota Vikings for three years, dressing for 15 games, and played one game for the Detroit Lions in 2017. He hasn’t been anything more than low-level depth, but he won’t turn 28 until August. If the ‘Skins liked what they saw enough last season, it’s worth bringing him on board to compete on the interior offensive line.
It seems more likely than not that Kerin won’t make the final roster. But, if he improves, perhaps the team will have found a fine backup. This isn’t exactly a move to write home about, but if they are getting him at the minimum, as expected, there’s no real downside here.

Kerin’s acquisition is just a footnote so far this offseason. It will be interesting to see what other offensive line help the team tries to bring in throughout the 2019 offseason and during the NFL Draft.
