Antoine Bethea to the Washington Redskins
Another team that could be in selling mode already is the San Francisco 49ers. They’re 1-4 with few prospects of getting back into the NFC West. Not with that quarterback situation they’re not. Trent Baalke will be intent on collecting his annual haul of draft picks and one way to do it is unloading some veteran players. Topping the list must be Antoine Bethea. The safety has been great for them, but with Jaquiski Tartt coming on they can afford to deal him.
Meanwhile the Washington Redskins are surging back into the NFC East race. However, the loss of DeAngelo Hall at safety is something they likely won’t mask forever. At age 32 Bethea can be called the perfect rental player. He won’t cost that much to get and could give their secondary a huge boost in short term with his leadership and veteran savvy. Maybe not a blockbuster deal, but one that could pay off huge down the stretch.
