Re: Redskins Free Agency 2016
The Baltimore Sun's Jeff Zrebiec speculates Ravens SS Will Hill could be a cap cut following the signing of FS Eric Weddle.
Lardarius Webb's $9.5 million cap hit would be the most obvious cut, but Baltimore has made it clear they see Webb as a starting safety this season. Hill was the Ravens' best safety last year, but it could be difficult to justify his nearly $4.6 million cap hit if he is riding the bench. That said, Webb should be asked to play in the slot in sub packages, and both Webb and Weddle profile more as free safeties. It is possible all three are on the field together for the majority of the snaps in 2016. If anyone is getting cut, mega-bust Matt Elam might be the best candidate. per Baltimore Sun Could be an opportunity if one of their safeties are cut.

Re: Redskins Free Agency 2016
I would definitely say it differently. The crop sucks in comparison to the money doled out in the first day or two. But there are still players that can help teams.
It's rare when you actually get your money's worth on the free agents that go in the first day or two. Olivier Vernon will be a prime example for years to come. No way he's worth more guaranteed money than JJ Watt. Aging guys and role players can still play a big role on your team. At this point in free agency you're not going to find top-line starters so I get where you're coming from, but you can still find guys to fill roles. Special teams coverage ace, a guy like Pierre Thomas to be a receiving threat on third downs, these are little things that make the difference in winning and losing a lot of games. The Cerrato move would have been to splurge on the guys available on day 1. But the right approach is to scour the player pool like McCloughan does and find role players who bring their lunch pail. You match the performance to the pay that way much better than you ever could on a day 1 free agent. There are a lot of useful football players still available. Sometimes it just takes those players some time to come around to the fact that they're not going to land the dream pay day.

Re: Redskins Free Agency 2016
From Keim:
John Keim ESPN Staff Writer The Redskins hosted safety David Bruton Tuesday, according to a source. Bruton played strong safety for Denver and suffered a season-ending broken fibula on Dec. 20. The Broncos reportedly remain interested in re-signing a player who has been a team captain the last three years.

Re: Redskins Free Agency 2016
Seems Scot likes adding former captains. Galette, Goldson, Long, now Bruton ... makes sense.

Re: Redskins Free Agency 2016
Pretty good signing IMO. Hopefully his injury from 2015 is not an issue any more.

Re: Redskins Free Agency 2016
We seriously need to upgrade the safety position through the draft. Badly.

Re: Redskins Free Agency 2016
Competition at safety doesnt hurt.
