Zimmerman has denied the allegation, and the Nats issued a statement in support of him.
The Post’s Dan Shanoff argues that the Washington Redskins might be a good place for Tim Tebow to land after the Denver Broncos announced they signed Peyton Manning to take over.
After a draft-pick swap that landed them the second bid in this year’s NFL Draft, the Redskins are poised to make Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III of Baylor University their quarterback of the future.
After 14 mostly amazing seasons with the Indianapolis Colts, quarterback Peyton Manning is a free agent, and the speculation over whether or not he will come to the Redskins is more cacophonous than ever before.
Should Peyton Manning become a Washington Redskin? Mayor Vince Gray doesn’t think so.
Redskins’ defensive coordinator Jim Haslett went into Sunday night’s showdown with the Colts with a clear plan to stop Peyton Manning.
