Ronald Darby Fantasy

The Denver Broncos agreed to a three-year, $30 million deal with free-agent cornerback Ronald Darby on Monday, according to a source. The deal includes $19.5 million guaranteed. The 27-year-old signed a one-year deal worth $4 million with Washington in 2020 and started all 16 regular season games for the first time in his six-year career. He finished the season with 55 tackles and 16 passes defensed but did not have a single interception. Darby missed a combined 20 games in the previous three seasons. He was a second-round pick of the Buffalo Bills out of Florida State in the 2015 draft and played two seasons in Buffalo before being traded to the Eagles for wide receiver Jordan Matthews.

The Washington Redskins agreed to a one-year, $4 million deal with cornerback Ronald Darby on Sunday, according to a source. Darby will likely compete for a starting spot in D.C. The 26-year-old former second-round pick of the Bills back in 2015 spent the last three seasons in Philadelphia, but he played in just 28 games over that span due to various injuries. Darby had 37 tackles (34 solo), two interceptions and 11 passes defensed in his 11 games played for the Eagles in 2019. Washington's defense will try to improve on their showing from last season, and having head coach Ron Rivera should help them in that effort.

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Ronald Darby (hip) will miss time with a hip flexor injury, according to head coach Doug Pederson. Rasul Douglas will move into a starting role as a result. It's unknown how much time Darby will miss, but it comes at a bad time as the Eagles can clinch the AFC East with a win over the Giants in Week 17. Darby could also be in danger of sitting out the wild-card round if the Eagles get into the tournament. Either way, it's bad news for an already weak secondary, although they stepped up to the plate in the 17-9 win over Dallas in Week 16. Darby's absence this weekend will be good news for Sterling Shepard and quarterback Daniel Jones, who torched the Redskins soft secondary in Week 16.
