As @RapSheet reported, Washington has given Morgan Moses permission to seek a trade. This is a natural byproduct of signing Charles Leno and drafting Sam Cosmi. Was told Leno coming here to start at LT; didn't draft Cosmi in 2nd round to sit.

Sources: Morgan Moses "didn't ask to be traded". The Washington Football Team "presented the trade idea to him". Also, Washington is "looking to move forward with their younger players and Moses is not exactly in their future plans". @wusa9 @WUSA9sports https://t.co/FUNc64bQ9u

Washington looking at eight potential new starters at least should it move Morgan Moses:

QB Ryan Fitzpatrick
WR Curtis Samuel
OT Charles Leno
OT Sam Cosmi
OG Ereck Flowers
LB Jamin Davis
CB William Jackson III
FS Bobby McCain

Also a possible new WR3. Plus a new long snapper

This is the exact reason why Jeremy Reaves’ skill set deserves more attention.

The alert to the far side (Curl) to the screen is elite stuff. He made a major impact the back quarter of the season working all over the apex of Del Rio’s defense. pic.twitter.com/ilOLxLiISV
