Previewing 2020 free agents: safety

The Redskins have safeties. Landon Collins is locked in for the foreseeable future by the aggressive free agent contract he signed in the 2019 off-season. For better or worse, he is the Redskins’ strong safety for the next few seasons.

The Redskins have decent depth, with Montae Nicholson, Troy Apke, and special teams aces Deshazor Everett and Jeremy Reaves all under contract for 2020.

Neither Everett nor Reaves is a starting NFL safety; the question is whether either the inconsistent Nicholson or the slowly-developing Apke is good enough, or if the Redskins need to upgrade the free safety position.
