The Redskins have been searching -- and searching -- for more than stop-gap answers at safety for nearly a decade. They traded for Dashon Goldson last offseason, but cut him earlier in this one. Now, they have turned to a former special teams standout, paired with an ex-cornerback (DeAngelo Hall) hoping that provides an answer for at least a few years. Bruton, who turns 29 in July, started eight games in seven seasons with Denver, including three in 2015.

I liked how the route concepts created lanes, too.

"I've dedicated my offseason to getting in the weight room and getting a little more physical, just to keep the durability up during the year and not take a couple of hits and go out the game...stay in there and block a couple of bigger guys," Jackson added. "Even though I haven't been here that much, I've dedicated the time."
