ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Redskins added thier first free agent of the offseason on Friday, signing receiver and former Pro Bowl kick returner Jerome Mathis.

Mathis made the Pro Bowl as a returner with the Houston Texans in 2005, but he was injured for most of the last two seasons. He became a free agent this year when the Texans opted not to make him a qualifying offer at the end of the season.

As a rookie in 2005, Mathis led the NFL in kickoff return touchdowns (two) and yardage (1,542) on 54 returns. He has six career receptions for 80 yards and a touchdown.

Yes, he had misdemeanor citation when when his pit bull was behaving aggressively and chewed threw his fence, and an assault case for allegedly punching his pregnant wife.
