“It’s all about our competition,” coach Dan Quinn said during the offseason program. “We want it at every position, and it’s really the central theme in what we do.”
That answer, in response to a question about helping 2023 first-round cornerback Emmanuel Forbes Jr. rebound after a trying rookie season, sounds generic. We get the concept of an organization not wanting players, from stars to long shots, assuming anything about the final 53-man makeup or who plays with the first team. The intrigue this time is that neither Quinn nor general manager Adam Peters has ties to Washington’s past amid recalibrating the team’s future.
