I think that began before the fight, hence the trade for Dix.

Well, the Redskins have been trying to get it right at safety since 2007 when Sean Taylor passed.

So far we have drafted a bust in Laron Landry with the #6 overall pick in the draft, made a number of free agent signings of established but aging veterans that ended up retiring on active duty here in Washington, etc.

Now we have a guy the coaching staff identified as a future core player and less than a year later not only was he supplanted in the lineup by a trade deadline acquisition but that player, Clinton Dix, is an unrestricted free agent and likely to leave Washington after the next 2 games.

Meanwhile, Nicholson will likely be suspended for a good portion of next season due to the severity of what was shown on the video, and that's if the Redskins actually want to hold a roster spot open for him for 6-8 games, etc.

My guess is the club parts ways with him once he receives a sanction by the NFL.

Then we will be in the market for a free safety who can cover for the 12th straight offseason
