Case Keenum https://www.theredskinslockerroom.com/authentic-dwayne-haskins-jersey , Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports.The sides still have some “issues to work out,” according to Rapoport, but both sides are “motivated” to get it done. Keenum ranks as the top quarterback target for Washington based on price — his deal has offsets — and experience, per Rapoport.The Broncos have worked to deal Keenum since acquiring Joe Flacco in a trade with the Ravens, a deal that will become official next week when the league year begins. Washington, despite saying all the right things about backup Colt McCoy this offseason, has had a need for a starting quarterback since Alex Smith severely injured his leg last season.Keenum, 31, went 17-13 as a full-time starter the past two seasons, one season for Minnesota and one for Denver. He threw 40 touchdowns and 22 interceptions with an 88.9 passer rating in 2017 and ’18 combined. It’s no secret that the Redskins have a “culture problem”...oh, but wait - do they? If there indeed is a culture problem, we all know that starts from the top and has a trickle down effect. So yes, the players in that locker room either directly or indirectly contribute to that culture problem. A change in coaches has already happened, and more is expected when the season ends. Obviously, new players will be added in the offseason via the draft and free agency, but it’s not too early to begin improving that culture from a player standpoint.The Buccaneers recently released hybrid linebacker/defensive back Deone Bucannon early this week. Now, before you go screaming about the Tampa Connection Womens Dwayne Haskins Jersey , remember, Bucannon was a Cardinal from 2014-2018, and came over to Tampa as a free agent to be reunited with his former head coach Bruce Ariens. He was not a good fit in the Bucs defense, and found himself on the bench with basically zero playing time. The Redskins have issues covering running backs and tight ends from their linebacker positions. Part of this is the scheme defensive coordinator Greg Manusky uses, where you often see EDGE defenders matched up against backs. But, it’s not just the scheme. Rookie Cole Holcomb, for as good as he’s been against the run, is equally as bad in coverage. He’s rated near the bottom of all qualifying linebackers in coverage for 2019 per Pro Football Focus. Where Bucannon can help is in nickle. He can play as that hybrid linebacker/safety that the Redskins were hoping they’d have when they spent a high draft pick on Su’a Cravens. Over the first five years of his career, the now 27 year old former first round pick has 404 combined tackles, 27 tackles for a loss, seven sacks, seven forced fumbles, 12 passes defended and two interceptions. His speed and instincts are his best assets, and he could help the Redskins in a variety of ways on a defense that has been abused by the pass over five games. Bucannon is said to be a high character guy both on and off the field, and is considered to be a vocal leader on the defense.
