As reigning NFC East champions, the Redskins will face a far tougher schedule in 2016 than they did in 2015, with games against Arizona and Carolina added to a docket that already includes a rematch with the Green Bay Packers and a road game in London. So just to equal their 9-7 record, they’ll have to be a far better team, which means getting better at every position.
Heading into free agency and the NFL draft, the Redskins’ roster has plenty of room for improvement, with depth and upgrades needed along the defense line and in the secondary, in particular.
