Redskins quest for safety help won't end with David Bruton

The Washington Redskins have attempted, and failed, to solidify their safety position for quite a while -- and it's a quest that continues this offseason, including Tuesday with the signing of free agent David Bruton, who received a three-year deal.

He fits the profile of a Scot McCloughan-type player -- someone who, even if a backup, would fill a crucial role thanks to special teams. A smart player, too, from what I've heard.

It's much like we thought about Jeron Johnson last offseason, only to see him get cut earlier this month.
