Washington Redskins offered tryout to Andre the Giant
In a bizarre, yet true story, the Washington Redskins once offered a tryout to over-sized pro wrestler Andre The Giant.
Former league MVP Shaun Alexander signed with the Washington Redskins on Tuesday, part of a flurry of roster activity in which the team ditched its punter, shuffled its safeties and displayed coach Jim Zorn's strong ties to his Seattle Seahawks roots.Alexander, unemployed since being cut by the Seahawks in April, signed a one-year deal to back up NFL leading rusher Clinton Portis.
