Ricky-Jean Francois to visit Redskins, 49ers

After being released from the Colts on Monday, defensive end Ricky-Jean Francois will visit with the Washington Redskins and San Francisco 49ers, according to NFL.com.

The Redskins are planning a series of changes along their defensive front after the arrival of new defensive coordinator Joe Barry. Last season found Washington rank 24th in defending the pass and 12th against the rush. Barry replaced Jim Haslett after spending three years as linebackers coach with the Chargers.

Should Francois land in the nation's capitol, he would be reuninted with Scot McCloughan, nowadays the Redskins general manager, though was with the 49ers in 2009, when the team drafted Francois in the 7th round.

New Niners coach Jim Tomsula also worked with the lineman for four seasons when the two were with the franchise, which is looking for new blood on the line with veteran Justin Smith still considering his future.
