Redskins sign Ryan Clark

Can't argue with this, and glad to bring more leadership onto the team.

BUT it's hard as a free safety once you lose a step. Free safeties are spread all over the field and the last line of defense.. Even future HOFer Ed Reed last year (at age 34) was burned routinely. Ryan Clark will be 35 by October, and there's little doubt if we had any other good options they'd be starting instead by then.

This is not the solution, but a bandaid. Really hope we can address in draft or develop P.Thomas through Clark. Manning would've been a more viable short-term solution (31yo), but Clark is fine for now..
