Brandon Meriweather signed, 2 yrs 6 million, per Schefter.


A lot cheaper than LL.

You don't have to be from the DMV to be a fan of the redskins...

Question:
Is Meriweather a FS or SS? Or will/does it matter?

Not impressed with this one. Just another body that will probably be a one year signing.

Re: Redskins Sign S Brandon Meriweather

I like the contract, but I'm iffy on the player. Pretty fair gamble, though.

He is only 5-11 and 200lb... it is no way he can FS. My question is why are people saying that signing marks the end of Landry...not that I want him back either.... at least until he is healthy to play a full season.

if anything, SS are bigger than FS

Re: Redskins Sign S Brandon Meriweather

hard to get excited about this signing, maybe the dude can rejuvinate his career, but the odds are that he's not much if anything better than Atogwe. I know he's more versatile.

Re: Redskins Sign S Brandon Meriweather

We don't have many options and I'm glad there's a body at safety. A healthy Laron would be great, but he's not healthy and I don't blame the team or him for moving on. Maybe the market for him won't be great and he decides to come back.

We could still offer Laron. If he is healthy, him and Brandon wouldnt be a bad duo. Laron problem is he wants to get paid, even though he hasnt performed and thats a problem.

Re: Redskins Sign S Brandon Meriweather

If people are this fed up with the team then maybe is time to seek another team to follow. And I try to say that in the most respectable way. In my opinion I have seen worst decisions made by this team in the past (McNabb, Haynesworth, TJ Duckett, Spurrier, Archuleta, etc., etc.) But if signing Pierre Garcon, Josh Morgan, and Brandon Merriweather are what cause fans to boil and lose it...then maybe nothing the team will do satisfy you. Just my humble opinion.

Although I will admit that I have no season tickets, so I don't have a lot of money invested/tied to this team. So maybe that changes my perception.

Re: Redskins Sign S Brandon Meriweather

Merriweather is simply another stop gap saftey. If a late round gem is found in this year's draft, he'll be replaced. If not, June 1st cuts or next year's off-season may yield a better option.
