Washington signed CB Darryl Roberts, team announced. New England drafted in the seventh round out of Marshall in 2015, and he played for Detroit last season. One piece of much-needed CB depth.

After losing cornerback Fabian Moreau to the Atlanta Falcons in free agency, the Washington Football Team has added CB Darryl Roberts to the roster, giving them some solid depth in the secondary.
Roberts is a former 7th-round draft pick out of Marshall in 2015, and he has spent time with the New England Patriots and Detroit Lions. In 2020, Roberts had one interception and six passes defended with a total of 39 tackles. Roberts has 4 interceptions in his career.
By no means should fans be jumping off of the walls about a Roberts signing, but his presence on the defense will give some much-needed depth, with him now being able to rotate in with Jimmy Moreland and provide some relief in the secondary. This still remains a slight position of need in the draft, but Washington got a guy that they like.
