Junior Galette Out For 2016 Season After Injury Junior Gallette isn’t having the best 2016. First, he got popped for beating up a stripper while he was playing ball for the Saints back in January. Next, he got released from the New Orleans Saints…we’re assuming at least partially on account of the whole “slapping up a stripper” thing. Now, having been traded to the Redskins, he has torn his right Achilles tendon and is out for the entire season — the second time this has happened to him in just as many years, since he also missed last season with the Saints due to the exact same injury on his other leg. Via ESPN : It looks as though Junior Galette’s long-awaited debut with the Washington Redskins will again be put on hold. Galette has torn his right Achilles tendon and is out for the season, NFL Media’s Rand Getlin reported per a source familiar with injury. Galette suffered the injury while working out, Getlin added. Galette missed the 2015 season with the same injury to the opposite leg, suffered during practice in August 2015. He’s still yet to play a meaningful down with the Redskins after signing a one-year deal in 2015, following a falling out with the New Orleans Saints that resulted in his release. Despite the injury, Galette re-upped with the Redskins in March on another one-year deal that could be worth up to $4.1 million. Prior to his off-field issues and subsequent release, Galette was among the league’s best young pass rushers. Lined up on the opposite end of the line from fellow rusher Cameron Jordan, the two wreaked havoc on opposing quarterbacks, with Galette recording 22 sacks combined between 2013 and 2014. New Orleans paid him as such, inking him to a four-year, $41.3 million extension before the problems outside of work and in the locker room made the Saints do a 180 and dump him. And even after that, the Redskins adding Galette seemed to be a cheap pickup with potential for great reward. A year and a half later, it looks like Washington won’t see any return on the deal. Wow. Life comes at you fast… AP/Redskins
