Great to hear. I thought he was supposed to be going to the Colts. Glad rumors aren't always true.

Good depth to have in an area that's generally a little weak. Welcome back Buchanon.

Good to hear but I'm kind of hopin Barnes will beat him out for the nickel cuz I really like the kid and the effort he put in last year at free safety. Still Buchy is a nice vet signing that will help keep the locker room together......I'm really likin these pick ups and resigning this off season

I do think Barnes will be stickin around. It's Carloser that's on the verge of bouncing....IMO

Clearly we had no intention of signing Rogers, it would make no sense at this point. The fat lady is singing...

I'm glad to hear he is coming back so we are at least standing pat at CB and not getting worse. I was starting to think we were going to be worse.

To me, Wilson is at best a push for stone hands, so now with Buccanon back in the fold we should have an improved secondary when you add in Otagwe (or however he spells his name).

I agree. I'm much more comfortable now with Hall, Wilson, Bucky & Barnes as our CB's. The others will be competing for the last spot.

Josh Wilson he is referring to and he is a very good corner. He was far and away the best Ravens corner down the stretch last year.

Ok, now I know. He also played:

Seattle Seahawks (2007-2010)
Baltimore Ravens (2010)
Washington Redskins (2011-present)

I wonder if HE played well against us during our Seattle playoff game - we lost. Maybe NOT cuz he was a rook then.

yep, Josh Wilson. I've been reading some ravens boards, and they are pretty mad about losing him =)

He was the guy that Santana Moss took a swing at vs Seattle. Moss got kicked out if I remember.

I like the Wilson signing, I hope Barnes gets some burn this year. He's a bigger DB and we need that. I can't see us letting him go, we need that height in the endzone.

DeAngelo Hall just injured his hand on a running play.

Redskins coach Mike Shanahan informed reporters Tuesday that Buchanon will be suspended for the first four games of the season by the NFL.

For now, the Redskins aren’t saying what the suspension is for. We should find out soon enough.

Look like Buchanon is suspended the first 4 games.

#Redskins have re-signed CBPhillip Buchanon, but bad news is he has been suspended by #NFL for first 4 games of regular season.

NFL suspended Redskins CB Phillip Buchanon four games for an undisclosed violation of league policy.

The suspension is league-issued, but there's no word yet on the reason. We suspect it pertains to the league's performance-enhancing drug policy. The Redskins will have to look elsewhere for help in the nickel during the first month.

Apparently they knew about it and signed him anyway, may be that's why Kelvin Hayden is coming in for a visit.

"That's a little setback for us," Shanahan said.

If they knew about it before signing it, how can that be a setback? You signed a suspended player. DUH

Did the redskins know this before signing him???

Yup, in this same Wash. Times article you posted it said Shanahan did know about it prior. He said its a little setback.

I'm not gonna bash Buchanon because it was probably marijuana but considering we have the Giants, Cardinals, Cows, Rams.. I think its a more than a little setback IMO.
