Overall, I love the way the Washington Redskins roster is shaping out. But, it’s always good to have a plan B in case anything happens in training camp. Let’s look at three free agents the Redskins should keep a their eye on.

Initially, the Redskins showed interest in Rodgers-Cromartie and invited him for a visit. A physical was undertaken, but no offer was made, which was a smart move on the Redskins part. They were exploring all their options in free agency and the draft was soon on the horizon.

It’s hard to see where Rodgers-Cromartie would fit in with the Redskins since they are crowded at the cornerback position. Currently, the top individuals on the depth chart would be: Josh Norman, Orlando Scandrick, Quinton Dunbar, Fabian Moreau, and Joshua Holsey. These youngsters are unproven but have the talent to be great. The sky is the limit with these guys, especially when they get to absorb all the veteran knowledge from Norman and Scandrick.

I do believe that Rodgers-Cromartie would be a great fit in Washington. He’s proven in his career to be more talented than Scandrick. If the New York Giants had re-signed him, they most likely would have moved him over to safety. This shows that Rodgers-Cromartie has great versatility that the Redskins could benefit from.

Not only could DRC help the development of the young and upcoming players, he could fill any gap in the secondary. I hope that these younger players prove their worth, but in case they don’t, or an injury happens, Rodgers-Cromartie should be the first player considered.
