Arizona Cardinals restricted free agent running back Tim Hightower has been traded to the Washington Redskins, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
In exchange for Hightower, the Cardinals will receive a conditional late-round draft choice and veteran defensive end Vonnie Holliday.
An Alexandria, Virginia native, Hightower was a fifth-round pick out of Richmond by the Cardinals in 2008. In 48 games, including 36 starts, Hightower has rushed for 1,733 yards and 23 touchdowns and has 118 receptions for 801 yards out of the backfield.
The Cardinals placed a "Second Round" tender on Hightower in February.
Holliday, 35, will join his sixth team since being selected in the first round of the 1998 NFL Draft by the Green Bay Packers. In addition to the Packers and Redskins, Holliday has played for the Kansas City Chiefs, Miami Dolphins, and Denver Broncos.
Holliday had 29 tackles and 2.5 quarterback sacks in 15 games in his one and only season with the Redskins, and is scheduled to earn $1 million in base salary this season.
