Buchanon strong option to start



The Redskins signed free-agent cornerback Phillip Buchanon Monday, nabbing yet another former star from Miami.

If you're keeping track, that's now four former Hurricanes on the team: Clinton Portis, Santana Moss, Rocky McIntosh and Buchanon.

Taking a quick look at the Redskins' roster, you can probably pencil Buchanon in as a nickel back right now, but he has the potential to start opposite DeAngelo Hall. Carlos Rodgers has started many games for the Redskins, but he was benched multiple times last season and hasn't exactly stood out. Last year's third-round draft pick, Kevin Barnes, was a non-factor his rookie year.

Would not be surprised if Buchanon was starting by mid-season, if not sooner.
