No. 3 — CB James Bradberry
Josh Norman is gone, and Quinton Dunbar is reportedly on his way out as well. That leaves Fabian Moreau, Jimmy Moreland, Aaron Colvin, and a handful of other names you probably don’t know to shore up the cornerback position. That’s not going to cut it. Even if Dunbar ends up walking back his trade request, the Redskins still need to hit the free agency period with a strong desire to sign a pass-defender, and James Bradberry arguably makes the most sense out of anyone.
At 26-years-old, Bradberry has played his entire career in Carolina under Ron Rivera, and he’s expressed interest in following his old coach to Washington this season. Unlike the incumbent CBs in Washington, Bradberry has been able to largely avoid the injury bug thus far, missing just four games in his career, and coming down with eight interceptions and three sacks while on the field.
He isn’t the top CB on the market, and his desire to play for the Redskins has been made known. While Bradberry surely wants to get paid coming off of his rookie contract, I bet the Redskins could sign him for a 4-year/$15 million contract and bolster their secondary.
