No. 4 — CB Byron Jones
Like James Bradberry, the addition of CB Byron Jones to the Redskins defense would go a long way to improve the secondary and alleviate a major need in Washington. Unlike Bradberry, Jones is arguably the top cornerback on the open market, and he will undoubtedly be paid as such.
In his past few years in Dallas, Jones has been playing up to the level of some of the top pass defenders in the NFL, all while being paid less than $5 million per year. His ability to shift between the CB and FS position seamlessly only boosts his value, and he could expect to cash in on that this offseason.
Though Jones is a better player than Bradberry, he is lower on our list because of the cap-hit he would bring with him. While cheap production at the cornerback spot isn’t hard to find, getting a player like Jones will force you to write a hefty check. It wouldn’t come as a surprise to see the former Cowboy sign a deal north of $12-13 million per season, as he lands somewhere as the franchise cornerback.
