Ashburn, VA (My Sportsbook) - The Washington Redskins finalized a two-year contract extension with fullback Mike Sellers on Wednesday, keeping him in Washington through the 2012 season. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Sellers' new deal actually includes two more years but they void automatically if Sellers is on the Redskins' roster five days after the Super Bowl in 2013. The 6-foot-3, 273-pound fullback helped Washington's offense rank eighth in the NFL in rushing yards in 2008. He also earned his first Pro Bowl nod last season. In 132 career games, the 34-year-old Sellers has caught 85 passes for 680 yards and 16 touchdowns. He also has 156 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 46 carries.
