Redskins 2015 Signings (and Re-Signings) Thread

[KI Skins Fan]

I have to believe that Scot will go into the draft with an open mind about either using the #5 pick or trading down. If there is an opportunity to trade the pick, I think that it will come down to the perceived value of each scenario.

Spoken like a true politician haha, I get what you're saying though.

We won't know anything until it actually happens. The way we've been operating though, I'm not worried at all.

Yes, I feel strongly both ways.

I am hearing that the Skins are still in play for Cox who would be our nickel corner.

I would love to add him and Johnson from the Seahawks. If we can pull that kid in and Cox this would be a an A plus free agency for our team.

Anyone know if we get a supplemental draft pick for losing Orakpo? By the way, he had some nice things to say on his way out. Classy guy, good luck to him in Tenn.

I doubt we will. The super secret formula would way Orakpo against Knighton and Culliver so far. IF we did I think at best it would be a late 6th.

FYI - Jeron Johnson is listed as a strong safety...... he has started 1 game, and has 1 pass deflection in 4 years

not a resume for a potential starter

the counter to that is this from Mike Jones at the WashPost

Signed by Seattle as an undrafted free agent out Boise State in 2011, when McCloughan served as a senior personnel executive for the team, Johnson has spent the last four seasons as a backup strong safety to Kam Chancellor, a three-time Pro Bowl pick. The 5-foot-10, 212-pound Johnson also ranked among the Seahawks’ top special teams tacklers.

I would say sitting behind Kam Chancellor would give a bit of a reason for not starting games. I don't know anything about him, but I will ask if he could be any worse than Merriweather?

Maybe he would be backup to D. Hall at safety, if we pick up Cox too and he gets pushed to safety.

we do not need to sign special teams players, 1 pass deflection in 48 games is not what we need.... they may already have strong safeties better than Merriweather

The point is he was behind Kam Chancellor, who started 46 of those 48 games and was a pro bowler in 2 of those 3 years, and Earl Thomas who started 48 of those 48 games and a pro bowler all 3 years. This is a guy who watched solid safety play, and practiced with a top defensive staff.

Seems like this would be a case of buying low, IF he has the ability. Not saying he does or doesn't but I would not be upset at all if he were brought in at a reasonable price.

[CRedskinsRule]

And the fact that he was a leading special team tackler, to me, says he understands angles, has speed, and can tackle. Not bad things for a safety to have.

[REDSKINS4ever]

The signing of Chris Culliver all but assures that he will be the starting corner opposite Breeland. If Amerson can't cut it as a nickel back then he doesn't belong in the NFL.

He was signed out of college by Scotty and has had a really strong buzz among twitter insiders for weeks.

I have been hoping we would grab this guy. I hope they don't let him leave town w/out a contract. I think he is a huge under the radar guy who we can get relatively cheap.

Well backed up both Earl Thomas and Cam Chancellor, so playing times was a little hard to come by behind two of the best safeties in the nfl.

Last I checked we don't have a starter at either safety spot... why is everyone not concerned with both spots???
