Defensive lineman Ricky Jean Francois signed a three-year, $9 million contract with the Washington Redskins on Thursday.

The deal includes $4 million guaranteed and could be worth $11.25 million, according to Jean Francois’ agent, Drew Rosenhaus.

Jean Francois was released by the Indianapolis Colts on Monday and had been pursued by several teams, including his former club, the San Francisco 49ers.

A seventh-round pick by the 49ers in 2009, Jean Francois played four year for the 49ers before signing a four-year, $22 million deal with the Colts in 2013. He started 23 games for the Colts, tallying 5.5 sacks.

The Redskins had not confirmed the signing of Jean Francois on Thursday evening, but they did announce the hire of former NFL quarterback Dave Ragone as offensive quality control coach.

Ragone joins the Redskins with six seasons of NFL experience, including three as an assistant coach for the Tennessee Titans (2011-13).
