Another cornerback could be on the move soon. Just moments after we heard the Eagles were looking for a Rasul Douglas trade partner, we’ve got word that the Redskins are shopping corner Quinton Dunbar, via Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.com.
Dunbar had a stellar 2019 season, and he publicly announced his desire to be released or traded last month after the Redskins apparently failed to meet his extension demands. Washington didn’t do anything at the time, but now they’re willing to listen to offers. Unlike the Eagles with Douglas, the Redskins might actually be able to get something significant for Dunbar.
He’s dealt with significant injuries the past two years but was great in the 11 games he started last season, grading out as Pro Football Focus’ second-best cornerback in 2019. The Florida product signed with the Redskins as an undrafted free agent in 2015, and he is set to enter the final season of a three-year, $10.5MM contract he signed a couple of years ago.
The 27-year-old had four interceptions and eight passes defended in only 11 games last year. Assuming they move Dunbar, Washington’s secondary is going to look quite a bit different in 2020 under Ron Rivera after they already jettisoned Josh Norman earlier this offseason. We’ll let you know as soon as we hear more, but there should be plenty of interested teams.
Seattle! Griffin/Dunbar would be great.
This has Raiders all over it. After missing out on Jones, Harris and Slay. Get this guy Gruden, imagine him with Mullen next year!
Jets in a package with Trent Williams
What type of pick might that bring back? Im not a huge football guy but I am a passive Redskins fan and hoping Rivera figures this thing out. I would think those two together could net a First rounder? I’m fully on the Chase Young train but another defensive back or help on the offensive line or a stud receiver is much needed.
I mean they aren’t going to release him.
If no one offers good value (high third or better) and wants to pay Dunbar, he’s playing for the Redskins next year or sitting on his couch. New CBA strongly discourages holdouts, thank heavens. Same deal for “Helmet” Williams.
