Redskins: Top players the team could target on the post-cut waiver wire

Safety

The safety is another position that the Redskins are lacking depth at. They may want to add a player to help out along with Deshazor Everett and the raw Troy Apke. There are a few solid candidates that could make sense for the squad.

Keith Tandy, Buccaneers: Tandy is a six-year veteran who was cut by the Bucs. That said, Tandy is a talented player and can function as a solid backup and spot starter. In 2016, he started five games and logged four interceptions. Generally, he looked like a solid player.

Tandy would be an ideal fit as the No. 3 safety with Everett moving to more of a special teams role and Apke staying inactive on game days until he is ready. It wouldn’t be surprising to see the Redskins target the former West Virginia product.

Ron Parker, Falcons: Parker was cut by the Chiefs, landed with the Falcons, and then was subsequently cut by them. Parker has started all but one of the last 64 games and is generally a solid all-around player. He may have regressed a bit at this point in his career, but he could be added as a potential top backup. So, he should be watched as well.

Corey Moore, Texans: Moore has been a depth safety for the Texans in the past couple of seasons, and he has done well in that role. With the revamped Texans secondary, Moore didn’t fit in, but he could be an ideal, low-cost backup for the Skins.
