The Redskins are traditionally an active player in free agency, but they have little money to spend because of a $36 million salary cap penalty imposed by the NFL for the way they structured contracts during the 2010 uncapped season. The second half of the penalty took effect Tuesday at the formal start of the new league year.
The Philadelphia Eagles have re-signed Rocca to a one-year contract. Rocca had been the team's last unsigned restricted free agent. The deal was announced Thursday.|||||||

He has averaged 42.6 gross yards per punt in his three seasons in Philadelphia while sending 74 punts inside the 20-yard line. Rocca played 15 years in the Australian Football League before joining the Eagles.
The Philadelphia Eagles have signed punter Durant Brooks to a two-year contract, giving the incumbent Rocca some competition.|||||||
