Mike Shanahan said last year after the free agency rush ended that there's an advantage taking players within your division. Not only is there obvious one less piece of personnel from our opponent, but also the intel they bring from our rival's scheme.
In free agency last year the Redskins signed one player from each NFC East team: Stephen Bowen (Dallas), Barry Cofield (NYG), and Sav Rocca (PHI)...arguably three of the best players on the team last year, So, what's the pool of free agents in the NFC East looking like this year? It's quite a long list...

We can cross off the QBs and Derrick Dockery. Shanahan loves veteran RBs, which they currently have none of. Ronnie Brown could be a training camp guy there. Who you got? Redskins add depth to safety? CB?
