The Washington Redskins have confirmed that unrestricted free agent cornerback EJ Biggers has agreed to sign a new deal with the club on Thursday.

Biggers, who was drafted in 2009 by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, tested the free agency market but has decided to stay in Washington after appearing in all regular season games last term.

"The Washington Redskins announced today that they have re-signed unrestricted free agent cornerback EJ Biggers," the club said on their official website. "Terms of the deal were not disclosed."

Biggers has started 29 times from 61 overall appearances throughout his career.
