One such spot is free safety, where the Washington Redskins will have Montae Nicholson serve as the starter opposite lucrative free agent signing Landon Collins.
Earlier in the offseason, it was theorized that the Redskins would attempt to find someone else besides Nicholson to fill that hole, as Nicholson was on shaky ground, following a 2018 season that saw him benched for Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, arrested on assault allegations, and eventually placed on the reserve list.
Nicholson’s charges were eventually dropped, but there was still uncertainty surrounding his status, and even into the latter stages of July, there have been calls for an outside hire, such as Tre Boston.
