WASHINGTON, D.C. --  Former Hampton University defensive back Courtney Bridget has signed a free agent contract with the Washington Redskins, the team announced on May 17, 2014.

Bridget (Baltimore, Md.) was seventh on the team in tackles this past season, tallying 51 total stops (including 22 solo efforts). He had a career-high 10 tackles (four solo) in the 2013 season opener at Western Illinois.

He also had five pass breakups on the season.

The UNLV transfer was with the Pirates for three seasons, and in 2011 Bridget made five starts, recording 20 total tackles. He also recorded his lone interception as a Pirate that season against Savannah State.

If he makes the squad, Bridget will be the second Pirate on the roster in Washington; former Hampton defensive lineman Chris Baker is entering his third season with the Redskins.
