Months after signing left tackle Kelechi Osemele to a 5-year, $58.5 million dollar contract, the Miami Dolphins have shipped their anchorman to the Washington Redskins for up-and-coming cornerback Bashaud Breeland and right tackle Morgan Moses.
Breeland immediately brings a swagger to the Miami secondary - the third year player out of Clemson already drives around with a "Breeland Island" sticker on his car.
"I am preparing to be the best in the game," Breeland said. "Now the island gets to move to Miami so we can bring back another Lombardi."
The deal puts the Redskins close to the salary cap limit, but with Pierre Garcon's expiring contract coming after the season, the team was in a place to gamble to protect Kirk Cousins while beefing up their rushing attack.
"It's great for us," Cousins said. "We want to run the football and my job is to protect it. Kelechi will help us across the board.
