I was really worried about TE AND OT, but the team roster is not written in concrete yet. WE WILL ADD PLAYERS LATE IN THE PS.
I see Kyle Smith picking up at least a couple of TE/ WR/ OT castoffs from other teams as training camp (if there is one) and the preseason progress. I see us picking up some good players from teams that are over-stacked in certain positions. The Bears have 10 TE’s for instance - when they make their last cuts that’s when Kyle and Rivera will scoop up some decent players for one-year, low salary contracts. If they are a bust, no problem, as we’ll just dump them. But we will find at least a couple of players like Flowers was last year, who have a break out season, into the average or better level - as they try to stay in the NFL.

The Redskins have a ton of cap that can move forward into next season. So I think this season, they will try some players who may not even be on the roster now, in short contracts- looking for some hidden diamonds that can be signed for longer contracts next year. I think the late PS pickups will do better than the UDFA and late draft picks. The Redskins will add 3-6 new players that are dropped by other teams, late in the PS. Especially in our weakest areas, like TE or OT. Some will be busts, but some will do far better that just being ST or third-string fodder.
