Packers make it official, sign FA CB Bashaud Breeland

The Packers made yet another move in free agency  by signing former Washington Redskins CB Bashaud Breeland, per Packers beat writer/insider Rob Demovsky via Twitter. Breeland, who spent the first four years of his career in Washington, totaled 8 interceptions, 59 pass deflections, 7 forced fumbles, and 211 solo tackles. The move comes after Green Bay placed CB Davon House on injured reserve due to season ending shoulder surgery, as first reported by Ian Rapoport yesterday, also via Twitter. The move looks to bolster a rather lackluster secondary/CB group. Currently, the depth chart consists of veteran Tramon Williams and rookies Jaire Alexander and Josh Jackson. Second-year player Kevin King is currently recovering from a groin injury sustained against the Vikings in week 2 at Lambeau Field. He was also out for Green Bay’s week 3 tilt against the Redskins.

With King’s status still uncertain and only one other veteran at CB on the roster, Green Bay had to make a move and Breeland was a great choice at CB. He completely revamps and upgrades the secondary. Hopefully it translates into great things defensively for Green Bay as they’re currently ranked 26th overall in pass defense and are looking to improve on not only that but also the win-loss record. Breeland should add some much needed depth at the CB position which the Packers desperately need at this point in the season. Overall, it was a great signing and certainly improves the secondary as a whole.
