I'd be willing to take the risk on him for the Skins. He'd probably play behind Wilson and could allow Barnes to be a backup FS instead of CB. If Landry can't start the season, Horton is likely next on the depth chart. OJ Atogwe could shift to SS and let Barnes play at FS...which I think would be better than a starting duo of Horton and Atogwe.

I would be very cautious in signing a CB from a team that chose to let him go because they had Justin Tryon on the squad to replace him...

Just saying...
