Sam Cowhert and Jamar Fletcher

[PSUskinsfan11]

"Vinny Cerrato, vice president of football operations, has contacted the agent for free agent linebacker Sam Cowart, according to a source with knowledge of the situation. Cowart, an eight-year veteran, played middle linebacker in Buffalo under Gregg Williams, assistant head coach-defense, and is familiar with the system. Cowart wants to continue to play middle linebacker, according to his agent, Paul Healy, and has visits scheduled for next week but not to Washington. The Redskins need a weak-side linebacker to replace LaVar Arrington, but could move starting middle linebacker Lemar Marshall back to the outside. Most of the prominent free agent linebackers have signed elsewhere. . . ."

"The Redskins are believed to be pursuing San Diego cornerback Jamar Fletcher for their vacant nickel back spot. Fletcher, 26, is a former first-round pick of Miami who had one sack and one interception last year."

Cowhert could be a good pick up for a year or two if he is cheap and stays healthy. If I remember right he signed a 1 year 1 mill. deal with the vikings last year.....Fletcher could help provide some depth at CB. He is definatly not a starter but he could be a quality nickel for a low cost. He was a hell of a player at Wisconsin.
