The Redskins are still trying to trade for Bengals' wide receiver Chad Johnson, according to the Washington Post. Cincinnati turned down Washington's first offer on Tuesday, which was rumored to be a first round pick in this weekend's draft and a conditional first-day selection in 2009. Vinny Cerrato, Washington's executive vice president of football operations, wouldn't confirm anything saying, "We'll just leave it with what Marvin Lewis said. I really don't think there's anything to add to that."

Washington reportedly offered Cincinnati their 2008 first-round pick and a conditional first-day pick in 2009 for Chad Johnson, but the Bengals turned down the offer, according to a report on ESPN.com. The Cowboys and Eagles have also inquired about Johnson and been shown the cold shoulder by Cincinnati's front office.

Sources indicate that the Eagles could trade cornerback Lito Sheppard to the Redskins, according to the Washington Post. The Redskins need a cornerback, and the two NFC East teams have discussed a deal, with Washington initially balking at the Eagles' asking price for the defensive back.

The Redskins on Friday signed wide receiver Jerome Mathis, as reported by Yahoo.com. Terms of the contract were not disclosed. The 24-year-old Mathis has appeared in just five games the past two seasons with the Texans due to injuries.
