It appears that one of the Washington Redskins best defenders is planning on skipping OTAs this spring because of the risk it poses to his health, without the assurance of any guaranteed money in the final year of his contract.
Sound familiar?
No, we aren’t talking about Trent Williams again, but rather cornerback Quinton Dunbar, who had a career-season in 2019 and now stands as one of the better pass defenders in the NFL.
According to NBC Sports Washington, Dunbar plans to skip Organized Team Activities this spring and avoid the injury risk that it poses. Dunbar was one of the many Washington players that witnessed linebacker Reuben Foster go down with a season-ending knee injury last season during OTAs, and Dunbar doesn’t want to take that risk considering that he does not have any more guaranteed money left on his contract. The report claims that this injury left a significant impression on the rest of the team when it comes to the value of voluntary work.
It is unclear whether this will spur on contract talks between Dunbar and the Redskins, or whether Dunbar is interested in re-signing with Washington down the road, but it looks like we know at the very least that Dunbar will skip out on OTAs for this year at least.
