IDK, did he even start for SF? Seems like a lot of a 3rd corner.

NFL.com: Culliver had a strong 2014 after missing the previous season due to an ACL tear. His career arc is still ascending, too, with a marked improvement over each of his first two seasons.

Surprisingly, this past season was his best, though.

Culliver pushed through what is typically a down year for those recovering from a torn ACL. He allowed just half of the passes thrown his way to be caught, according to Pro Football Focus, and surrendered an opposing passer rating of 66.5.

The move continues a -- to quote Around The NFL comrade Chris Wesseling -- surprisingly sensible offseason for Daniel Snyder and his crew in Washington.

He's a good corner, and compared to the other guys signed, he's alot younger. They aren't going after guys 30 and over.

I say him an Breeland at opposite ends.

I think we made a good choice with Culliver...the question becomes will it be: D Hall, Amerson, Breeland or not on roster, he is paired with on the outside.

Breeland hands down, Hall in the slot and Amerson just there I guess for now. Maybe they move him to FS

8 mil per year on the Culliver contract sounds like a lot. Hall for example is 4 years for about 20 mil.

Culliver is very very good, for anybody not familiar with him. He's our #1 by far.

Maybe the best thing is for Hall to move to safety at this point. How he recovers from that achilles of course is the key, but it would be amazing if he still has the same burst to drive on the ball at the CB spot.

As a long time 49er fan who has adopted the Redskins as my second team because I moved to Virginia from Southern California, Culliver is hands down better than anyone the Redskins have had in their secondary lately. He has amazing closing speed. Unfortunately he has serious character issues, but nothing that has resulted in a lengthy suspension.

He has made negative comments about gays and women, ran over a bicyclist
then threatened a bystander with brass knuckles while fleeing. Oddly enough he has no issues with drugs or alcohol, so you can't even blame "drunk and stupid" for his behavior. Great corner, but a couple POS as a human being.

Like the moves so far, hitting on needs and not busting the bank in the process.

Most definitely! Actually, the draft is Scot McCloughan's specialty.

that's what i thought/hoped.

i am very excited to see what we do, starting w 1 pick in each round. i'm going to go out on a limb and say that we draft more than 7 players.

sevier2 · 03-13-2015, 05:51 PM

With the scarcity of Safeties available in the draft/Free Agency, and our front 7 getting a major face lift the past two weeks, are we prepping for a trade-down Landon Collins pick?

That's sort of the route i've wanted us to go, i'm just not sure if i'm totally sold on Collins.

DREAM SCENARIO: Redskins sign a veteran Free Safety to come in for a couple years and then take Collins around 15 with a trade down, adding more picks later on as well. I'd love to get a ball hawk FS but if it's not there, it's just not there.

Allow Collins to grow as the Strong Safety and get our Ball Hawk next year or the year after.

Any traction to that thought or am I sipping too much Kool-Aid?

anyone know how much cap we have remaining or are contract terms still too unknown.
