Washington Redskins

Last season was not kind to the Washington Redskins. The team lost rookie running back Derrius Guice to a torn ACL prior to the season, and Alex Smith suffered a terrible knee injury. They started 5-2 and finished with a 7-9 record.

Ramon Foster, OG

Left tackle Trent Williams has been a mainstay on the Washington offensive line. Since coming into the NFL in 2015, right guard Brandon Scherff has become a major piece to the unit as well.

With the interior offensive line high on the team’s to-do list this offseason, Foster is a great free-agent option.

Foster has played his whole 10-year career with the Steelers. He has been somewhat of an unsung hero on some very dominant offensive lines.

Signing Foster would address the left guard position. Even at age 33, he is still rated well by Pro Football Focus. He’d bring a night and day difference over Shawn Lauvao.

Randall Cobb, WR

Tight end Jordan Reed led the team in receptions and yards, and was tied for the team lead in touchdowns with two. Although, he led with only 558 yards and 54 catches.

Josh Doctson was the team’s best receiver, and even he underwhelmed with only 532 yards and 44 receptions. Paul Richardson, who was signed last offseason, only played seven games, and Jamison Crowder is a free agent.

Meaning, Cobb could find a brief home with the Redskins. Yes, Cobb has been hurt and has looked to be on the decline over the past few seasons. However, when healthy, he can still be productive, and the team needs depth at receiver.

Teddy Bridgewater, QB

Bridgewater signed a one-year deal last offseason with the New York Jets. He was then traded to the Saints. He got one start as the backup to Drew Bees.

As mentioned before, Smith’s leg injury was much worse than thought. Therefore, his timetable to return is unknown. If the price is right, Bridgewater on a short-term deal makes a lot of sense for the Redskins.

Bridgewater would be able to hold the fort until Smith’s future is known, or until the team finds another option.
