Redskins linebacker Ryan Kerrigan is getting closer to a contract extension to keep him in Washington beyond the 2015 season, according to ESPN.com.
The two sides have been pushing for a long-term deal, but there is no timetable for the completion.
"Just the fact that we're in negotiations proves we want to be around us for a long time," McCloughan said. "I want him to have a second contract and hopefully a third contract with the Redskins. He's what I look for in a football player. Every day he's there trying to make himself better."
Kerrigan is just going with the flow.
"It sounded like talks were progressing pretty well," said Kerrigan, the host of the Leukemia Golf Classic at Lansdowne Resort Monday. "It'll happen as it happens. But of course it's in the back of your mind because it's a big deal. It's a big thing that could happen. Hopefully we get that done."
Kerrigan racked up a career high 13 1/2 sacks in 2014 and has totaled 38 sacks in the first four years of his career.
