Redskins ink CB Culliver

ASHBURN, Va. - Cornerback Chris Culliver and the Washington Redskins have agreed to a four-year, $32 million contract, according to multiple reports.

Culliver was drafted by San Francisco in the third round of the 2011 NFL Draft out of South Carolina, collecting 127 tackles and 7 interceptions, adding three forced fumbles with the 49ers.

He sat out the 2013 season after tearing his ACL in training camp in August of that year.

The Redskins are in need of improvement in their secondary after losing DeAngelo Hall for most of last season with a torn Achilles. Washington finished 20th in yards allowed and 29th overall in scoring defense in a four-win campaign.

The team also recently added defensive linemen Stephen Paea, Terrance Knighton, and Ricky Jean Francois under first year defensive coordinator Joe Barry and GM Scot McCloughan.
