No surprise with either news. From what I’ve gathered, Skins not wowed by second-tier S’s, certainly not better than Brandon in their eyes.

This does NOT close the door on Ryan Clark. Meriweather can play single high or probably more effective in box area. Versatility key for BM

Meriweather, 30, started 12 games at safety for the Redskins last year. He had 52 tackles, two interceptions, a sack and he forced a fumble and recovered one.
The signing does not mean the team has closed the book on signing free safety Ryan Clark as negotiations are still ongoing between Clark’s agent and the Redskins.
