The Redskins roster has gone through significant changes since the end of the 2018 season. Some of these changes may negatively impact the team, but I think we call all agree, for the most part, this roster got a lot better since February.
Significant Players we lost:
Jamison Crowder
Preston Smith
Ty Nsekhe
Zach Brown
Stacy McGee
HaHa Clinton-Dix
Alex Smith(injury)
Significant Player we gained(via free agency, trade, draft or returning from injury):
Derrius Guice
Cam Sims
Troy Apke
Reuben Foster
Landon Collins
Ereck Flowers
Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie
Dwayne Haskins
Montez Sweat
Terry McLaurin
Bryce Love
Wes Martin
Ross Pierschbacher
Cole Holcomb
Kelvin Harmon
Jimmy Moreland
Jordan Brailford
The following played in 2018, but missed at least half of the season:
Brandon Scherff
Paul Richardson
Quinton Dunbar
Geron Christian
On paper, this roster looks like it improved significantly.
The loss of Jamison Crowder and maybe free safety HaHa Clinton-Dix appear like the only significant ones where a replacement of equal or greater value was not acquired.
- The loss of Preston Smith is easily countered by the gain of Montez Sweat
- The loss of Ty Nsekhe is softened by the addition of Ereck Flowers and return of Christian
- The loss of Zach Brown is easily surpassed by the addition of Reuben Foster
- The loss of Alex Smith should easily be surpassed by the addition of Dwayne Haskins
- The loss of Stacy McGee shouldn’t really be considered much of a loss
Do you feel the Redskins roster has improved from this time last year? Heading into the offseason, the Redskins looked like one of the worst teams in the league on paper. Now, that seems to look significantly different.
At worst, especially given the talent we have on defense, I see 8-8 being the floor. I don’t know if this teams makes the jump to that next level quite yet, but there are some very important pieces to the puzzle that are now in place to help us in the future.
