The Washington Redskins are not expected to be as active during free agency as they have been in the past, but they are getting in some early work during the legal tampering period and gauging the interest of some potential free agent signings.

According to the Washington Post, the Redskins have interest in Cincinnati Bengals free agent offensive tackle Anthony Collins.

As @john_keim said, #Redskins expressed interest in S Mike Mitchell. Talib and CIN RT Anthony Collins also players of interest, as expected.

The Redskins have some obvious needs along the offensive line and Collins has proven to be a solid player throughout the past few seasons, so if Washington would be able to get him at a discounted rate it would be a no-brainer.
