Orakpo, 28, played his first six seasons with Washington after being drafted in the first round of the 2009 NFL draft. He only played in seven games last season and was placed on season-ending injured reserve after tearing his right pectoral muscle in an October game against the Titans. It was third time in his career that he tore a pectoral muscle. Orakpo also dealt with finger and ankle injuries during the season.
