Redskins Sign DB Cedric Griffin

[REDSKINS4ever]

Cedric Griffin will probably be more cut out playing free safety unless the coaches feel that he can step in and be the nickel back. But Kevin Barnes is decent in the slot. Griffin is injury prone though and playing on two re-built knees, he may be hurt again. But hopefully he's healed from those injury.

The value of this signing rests squarely on the health of Griffin's knees. If the Skins medics say he is healed to the point where he can play somewhere near the level he played a couple years ago, then this is a bargain basement signing. If his knees are shot, then the Skins are out whatever they gave him as a signing bonus.

Minimal risk here. Potential reward is not humongous, but if Griffin regains his form of a few years ago, he is an upgrade in the secondary.
