Saints send Brown to Redskins

The Washington Redskins continue their massive offseason overhaul.

FOXSports.com has learned that the Saints and Redskins have agreed to a trade, with the Saints sending two-time Pro Bowl left tackle Jammal Brown to Washington for a conditional draft pick in the 2011 NFL Draft.

The pick will be in either the third or fourth round of next year's draft, depending on which of those two picks ends up being sent to the Philadelphia Eagles in the Donovan McNabb trade.

The Redskins will also receive a yet-to-be-determined pick from the Saints in the lower rounds of the 2011 draft. In addition, Washington will send a 2012 sixth-round pick to New Orleans if Brown meets certain incentives.

Brown, a restricted free agent, signed his $3.62 million tender offer before the trade. He had skipped the Saints' voluntary workouts this offseason because he was unhappy with the tender, along with the fact that he might have to compete with Jermon Bushrod to regain his starting job.

After starting 58 games for the Saints in five season, he missed all of the 2009 season with a hip injury and a sports hernia.

Brown will team with Washington first-round draft pick Trent Williams, the No. 4 overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft, to give quarterback Donovan McNabb an instant bookend at tackle.

Coincidentally, the two were both offensive tackles at Oklahoma.
