3 cornerbacks the Redskins should target in 2020 NFL free agency

The Redskins could use another lock-down defender out on the edge to accompany Quinton Dunbar and the Washington secondary.

I know, I know, but just hear me out. Fuller had the best season of his career with the Redskins in 2017 before being sent to Kansas City as a part of the trade for Alex Smith. Since then, Fuller has struggled to get back to the form he once realized in Washington.

This signing would be done more based on faith in what Fuller can become once again, rather than proof of what he currently is with the Chiefs. In 2019, Fuller started only five games, and he didn’t record an interception in that time. However, his past performances have shown some promise. In his last year with the Redskins, Fuller had four interceptions, 10 passes defended and 55 total tackles. That performance surely helped his trade value, and now that he’s set to become an unrestricted free agent, the door is open for him to come back to Washington, where the Redskins never truly found a replacement for him. His contract will likely be relatively cheap too until he can prove that he’s worth the type of money that the NFL’s best cornerbacks garner.
