Published Mar. 14, 2012 1:08 a.m. ET

Pierre Garcon's deal with the Washington Redskins is worth $42.5 million over five years.

The contract includes $20.5 million in guaranteed money, with an $11 million signing bonus.

Garcon announced Tuesday he was joining the Redskins, less than one hour after the start of the NFL free agency signing period.

The former Indianapolis Colts wideout would be a target for Robert Griffin III, the Heisman Trophy winner whom the Redskins are expected to take with the second pick in the NFL draft.
