Redskins sign Kelly for four years

The Washington Redskins have agreed to terms with second-round selection Malcolm Kelly, the 51st overall selection in the 2008 National Football League Draft.

ESPN’s John Clayton reported that it is a four-year deal worth $3.36 million, with $1.655 million of that guaranteed.

The wide receiver is the seventh and highest of the Redskins' 10 draft picks to sign or agree to terms. While at the University of Oklahoma, Kelly earned second-team All-Big XII honors as a sophomore and junior, before opting to enter the draft with one year of eligibility remaining. He ranks second to Mark Clayton all-time in Sooners history with 144 receptions, 21 touchdowns and nine 100-yard receiving games, and is fifth in school annals with 144 receptions.
