Fitzgerald, who will turn 35 before the season begins, has taken part in every voluntary session with the same competitive mindset he always has had. As silly as it sounds, the former Pitt star said he plays like his job is on the line.

“When I say that I’m not saying it jokingly, that’s the mentality that you have to have,” he said.

A person with direct knowledge of the deal said Dallas and Zack Martin have agreed to terms on an $84 million, six-year contract extension that will make the two-time All-Pro the highestpaid guard in the NFL.

Williams wore a bandage on his knee as he spoke to reporters Wednesday after the Redskins worked out during mandatory minicamp. The Pro Bowler missed six of 16 games last season. He said the surgery involved his kneecap.
