I'd bring him back for a cheap price, since he can't seem to stay healthy.
We're suddenly decent at safety, at least we have a lot of good depth...and Doughty. If Barnes moves to FS, we're deep.
NOW our big defensive weakness is CB depth. Hall and Wilson are quality starters but we have no one behind them.

Teams more than likely view Atogwe as injury prone. He is as good as anybody when he's healthy, but teams have to take into consideration that he lost his starting job last season in Washington in addition to his injuries.
If the Redskins bring him back, it will probably be for a one year deal and for very cheap at that. With the additions of so many safeties within the past month, I can see the Redskins bringing back Atogwe only if there's an injury to one of the Redskins free safeties since he already knows the schemes on defense.
Besides Josh Wilson and DeAngelo Hall at CB, who do the Redskins have? Byron Westbrook hasn't been re-signed yet. Brandyn Thompson has potential but he was on and off of the practice squad all last season. But despite that, I'm looking for him to develop into a nickle CB if Barnes does move permanently to safety. I'm looking for the Redskins to draft a corner back. Leigh Torrence is an extra body, but he's a dime back at best.
