Archuleta, Carter, Collins

Knowing that they would lose Ryan Clark, the Redskins desperately needed to sign a playmaking safety. Taylor, in all likelihood, will be spending a few years behind bars. Shawn Springs and Carlos Rogers return but they definitely need a solid nickel corner. Prioleau and Stoutmire were good for bit roles but it's nicer to have them provide depth than rely on either as a starter at safety. It seems that the Skins could rely on Prioleau if they had to. Perhaps the Redskins can consider bringing back Matt Bowen and have an all-white safety tandem, a rarity.

Andre Carter will be starting at DE, his preferred position. Apparently, the Skins are considering Sam Cowart to beef up the LB corps with the possibility of Lemar Marshall moving back outside. There is also depth at linebacker in the draft so that provides an affordable option for bolstering the LB corps.

Does it really make sense to pay Todd Collins over $1 million a year as the clipboard holder? Why not a proven backup like the recently released head-banging Gus Frerotte?
