It was expected that the Washington Redskins would make some changes to their defensive line following the 2018 NFL Draft. After all, the team had spent their first round pick on Alabama nose tackle Da’Ron Payne and then proceeded to add Tim Settle in the fifth round. So, there was a logjam on the defensive line, and a couple of players would become casualties as a result.
On Monday, those moves were revealed, as the Redskins parted ways with Terrell McClain and A.J. Francis. Both departures were sensible, but it was assumed that the two would eventually find homes somewhere else in the NFL.
