Redskins 2016 Free Agents, Draft Picks

"Chris Culliver’s time with the Washington Redskins lasted all of six games.

Redskins general manager Scot McCloughan told the injured cornerback on Monday that he was being released after the team signed Josh Norman as a free agent and took Kendall Fuller in the third round of the NFL draft."

"McCloughan said he did not offer Culliver a restructured deal, though.

"He sat out Washington’s game in Week 2 of last season because the NFL suspended him for violating the league’s personal conduct policy, a penalty that voided Culliver’s guaranteed salary of $8 million for 2016

“He can go out there and test the market and see what happens and hopefully he gets what he wants. I have no problem bringing him back here,” the GM said. “He’s going to be in the league. Might be here, might be somewhere else.”

Darrel Young, FB has been released by the Redskins, but has not signed with another team. I thought Darrel Young should have been used more last year in goal line and short yardage situations. He came through earlier in the season. Later in the season Alfred Morris was used, and too often failed to make short yards. Darrel Young also served on special teams. I think the Redskins should get Darrel Young signed again.

Josh Norman

"When Norman left the facility on a Friday night in April after signing a contract with Washington, Barry asked when his newest asset might return to Redskins Park to continue with offseason workouts. According to Barry, Norman looked at him funny, as though the question were silly, and asserted he would return Sunday night and be in the gym at 8 a.m. on Monday.

“That, to me, said a lot,” Barry said.

“We obviously see all of the clips on NFL Network and the plays that he makes on the field, but his true character is his work ethic, his passion, and he wants to be great and he wants to make his teammates around him great,” Barry added. “I think that is a huge attribute that he has that a lot of people don’t see.”

The same thing can be said by his head coach Jay Gruden, who was also pleasantly surprised by the cornerback’s dedication in all areas of the facility.

“You never know what type of worker they are until they actually get in your building and that has been the most impressive,” Gruden said. “He’s got the skill set; he has already proven that. He is a Pro Bowl corner and almost Defensive Player of the Year and all that good stuff. You know about his game day ability, but what you don’t know about is how he is with the other players and in the meeting room and on the practice field."


Josh Norman Is Already Making An Impact, Starting With His Work Ethic
