A Washington Football Team community since 2002, blogging about the WFT and their fans.
The Redskins took another step in re-building their secondary today, and signed former Seattle Seahawks safety Jeron Johnson. He was with the Seahawks from 2011 until 2014, and backed up Pro Bowl strong safety Kam Chancellor.

Well the hot button / water cooler / trending topic for the Redskins this week seems to be a fairly lax dressing room following their loss to the Seahawks on Monday night.

Most Redskin fans remember – with chagrin – that Clark went on to experience great success when he left Washington. He spent eight seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he roamed the secondary, smacking heads. He registered over 100 tackles twice, including 102 last year when he was also a team captain.
