Redskins 2018 Off Season Re/Signings

Every player whose name I bolded below is a UFA. We cannot assume that any of them will be re-signed even if the FO wants to sign some of them.

1. A Left Guard: Yes we do need an upgrade at LG, I hope we sign/draft one. But healthy, our OL is capable, it's not like Lauvao is Catalina... Long can also play guard if Roulier steps it up at center. I agree it's a need. But it's not a gaping roster hole.

FA's Lauvao and Long are long gone. Nobody else can play a lick. Jay Gruden says we need a LG. It is a gaping hole.

2. A run-stopping DL: We could use an upgrade, I do hope we draft one DT in the first 2/3 rounds. But remember when Allen and Ioannidis were healthy? Our defense looked way better.

We need a big, fat-ass NT.

3. A capable starting RB: no arguing this one. I said over and over sign Crowell, or Lewis.

4. A WR who is a deep threat: no arguing this on either. This is a MUST. I'd say FA (or trade... Bryant for Cravens and a 4th?).

5. A pass rusher to complement Ryan Kerrigan: if we can bring Galette back at a fair price, and the inside pressure is there, I can live with Kerrigan on one side and Galette rotating Smith opposite.

I don't expect Galette to be re-signed and I think Smith is a fraud as an OLB.

6. A TE who can and will block: we sure could use one. But Sprinkle may very well develop into that guy.

7. Another starting ILB: assuming we bring Zach Brown back, I'm not sure I agree. Brown and Foster are legit starters. Zach Vigil played really well when he stepped in, I think what he did for us is under-appreciated because he came in when we pretty much had lost any hope in our season. And Spaight is a capable back up.

We don't have Brown yet. Vigil was a pleasant surprise. Spaight isn't very good at all.

8. A slot corner: I do hope we draft one. But as said above, Norman, Breeland, Moreau and Dunbar is not a group of CBs that we should feel uncomfortable with.

Breeland isn't signed yet. He could be the slot corner if signed but he isn't signed.

9. A PR/KR: OK... I admit I forgot about this issue...

10. Probably something else I forgot: Maybe... Some will say fire every one from the HC to the water boy if we want to stand a chance at anything... But I don't see anything else.

We NEED:

3. A capable starting RB.
4. A WR who is a deep threat.
5. A pass rusher to complement Ryan Kerrigan.
6. A TE who can and will block.
7. Another starting ILB.
8. A slot corner.
9. A PR/KR.
10. Probably something else I forgot.

Even counting any FA signings, how are we going to come up with what we absolutely must have, plus additional developmental players? We are a lot farther away from a complete team than people around here think. We've got a lot to do in FA and the draft and I don't think we can get it all done this year no matter how smart we play it.

Not every position will be perfect but we can hit a lot of those spots between the draft and FA. Front office has a lot of work to do. If we have good off season I think we'll fight for playoffs.

You're absolutely right. I forgot Lauvao was a FA (we talked about it many times but... Mental fluke).
So we absolutely have to land one, good ones are available in FA, and I think that's a position you can expect to draft and start immediately.

My reasoning was based on the fact that we'd sign Brown and Breeland. If we don't we have to find replacements in FA.

I also assume Long can be signed relatively cheap. He's among my must re-signed guys. Good polyvalent OL, must have.
