03/05/2010 - Ashburn, VA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Washington Redskins on Friday re-signed defensive end Phillip Daniels and offensive lineman Mike Williams.
Daniels started all 16 games for the Redskins last year, recording 46 tackles, one sack, and three passes defensed. The Georgia product has been with Washington since the 2004 season.
The 37-year-old Daniels helped Washington's defense finish ranked 10th in the NFL last season.
"We are excited to have Phillip onboard as we prepare for our off-season conditioning program," Redskins executive vice president/head coach Mike Shanahan said.
The 6-foot-6, 305-pound Daniels, who is entering his 15th NFL season, has registered 615 tackles, 60 sacks, 16 forced fumbles, and 12 fumble recoveries in 187 career games (167 starts) with the Seahawks, Bears, and Redskins
In his first season with the Redskins last year, Williams started five games at right guard and three contests at right tackle.
The 30-year-old Williams has played in 60 career games (58 starts) for the Buffalo Bills (2002-05) and the Redskins (2009). The Texas product spent the 2006 season with the Jacksonville Jaguars on injured reserve and was out of football during the 2007 and 2008 seasons.
"Mike showed a tremendous work ethic and willingness to do whatever the team asked of him, and those are two of the traits we're looking for in Redskins players," Shanahan said. "We believe that he's only scratched the surface of his abilities so far, and look forward to seeing what he can do after a full offseason in our program."
Also on Friday, the Redskins signed defensive lineman Lorenzo Alexander to a contract extension. Alexander will be a linebacker in Jim Haslett's defense.
Last season, the 26-year-old Alexander played in all 16 games as a defensive tackle and defensive end, recording 22 tackles, two sacks, one pass defensed, one forced fumble, and one fumble recovery.

In terms of sports wagering, the NFL is "the most popular game in town." The explanation behind that is easy.
It is called the "pointspread."
Many years ago, NFL games, as well as the more popular college games, used straight odds as a vehicle for betting. For example, if the Bears were playing the Giants, and it shaped up as a competitive contest, the Bears might be, say, a 7/5 favorite. If they were playing an also-ran, it might be 10/1. Well, there is a point where a line becomes prohibitive, as far as betting the favorite. And who would waste money betting an underdog that has virtually no chance? Such a setup did not contribute to promoting betting action.
But in modern sports betting, a "pointspread" is used.
A NFL pointspreads are exactly that, a pre-established point difference between the two sides that will, for all intents and purposes, create a handicap that evens things out, and in doing so, produces comparable wagering activity on both sides of that proposition. So in lieu of a odds figure in which to bet the team to win outright, the Bears might be a three-point favorite over the New York Giants, and a 17-point favorite over the also-ran. Now that the team that is the underdog can "get" points, there can be equal action on both sides.
In sportsbooks, this is usually done with efficiency by charging the losing bettors 10% extra - in effect, bettors are laying 11/10 on those games. So they are actually betting $110 to win $100. If they lose, they pay the "vig." If they win, they simply collect.
The establishment of the pointspread as the corner stone around which team sports like football can be wagered upon was truly what brought gridiron betting into the stratosphere for online football betting .
