One of the first moves the Washington Redskins made in free agency was one that left fans scratching their heads. While numerous key members of their squad left to sign deals with other teams, the Redskins turned their attention to adding competition at punter. The team signed Sam Irwin-Hill to serve as a backup punter and since that time, they have kept him on the 90-man roster.
However, that changed on Wednesday afternoon. The Redskins drafted Adonis Alexander in the sixth-round of the 2018 NFL Supplemental Draft and they needed to open up a roster spot to keep him.
