Free agent fits: A big-name and low-key inside linebacker the Redskins could pursue

Washington could have a big hole to fill at the heart of its defense. Free agency starts next week and all three of Washington’s main inside linebackers this past season are free agents. Reports suggest Washington would like to bring back Will Compton, an exclusive-rights free agent, as the starting Mike ‘backer. Mason Foster played well and formed a strong partnership with Compton down the stretch last season. Logic would dictate the team would like him back too. Keenan Robinson and Perry Riley Jr. are expected to be allowed to test the market.
