WASHINGTON -- The Washington Redskins moved aggressively in the first minutes of free agency Tuesday to find some targets for Robert Griffin III, agreeing to terms with Pierre Garcon and Josh Morgan while pursuing Eddie Royal.

The Redskins also re-signed defensive end Adam Carriker and were working to add more on both sides of the ball, retaining their reputation as the one of the champions of the NFL offseason even as the cloud of a salary cap reduction from the league threatened to disrupt the team's plans.

Garcon's deal is a blockbuster: five years for $42.5 million with $20.5 million guaranteed, including an $11 million signing bonus.

Morgan agreed to a contract worth $12 million over the first two years, with $7.5 million guaranteed. His full contract is for five years, but the final three can be voided.

Carriker is set to return for $20 million over four years, with $7 million guaranteed.

"I wanted you all to hear it from me 1st before u saw it on the news... I will be signing with the Washington Redskins and I'm very excited about the opportunity in front of me," Garcon posted on his Facebook page less than an hour after the 4 p.m. ET start of the free agency period.

Morgan agreed Tuesday to a contract worth $12 million over the first two years, with $7.5 million guaranteed. The full contract is for five years, but the final three can be voided.

Garcon had 188 catches for 16 touchdowns and a 13.4-yard average in four seasons with the Indianapolis Colts. Last year he had 70 receptions for 947 yards and six TDs as Indianapolis finished 2-14.

Morgan had 131 catches for nine touchdowns and a 13.5-yard average in four years with the San Francisco 49ers. Morgan broke a bone in his right leg in early October last year, ending his season with just 15 receptions for 220 yards and one TD.

Royal, who has played four seasons with the Denver Broncos, was talking to the Redskins and a half-dozen other teams.

All three would help overhaul a passing game that is expected to feature Griffin, the Heisman Trophy winner whom the Redskins are set to take with the second overall pick in the NFL draft next month.

The Redskins were full steam ahead despite entering free agency with $36 million of uncertainty -- the amount they are to be docked from their salary cap allotment by the NFL for the way the team structured contracts for the uncapped 2010 season, league sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter on Monday.
