Redskins Have Young Core On Defense They'll Build Around

As the Washington Redskins continue to evaluate what is best entering the 2017 season, they have decided to not retain four coaches including defensive coordinator Joe Barry.

The Washington Redskins announced on Thursday that they will not retain defensive coordinator Joe Barry, defensive line coach Robb Akey, defensive backs Perry Fewell and head strength and conditioning coach Mike Clark.

These decisions were made following the conclusion of the regular season, one in which the Redskins finished with a second consecutive winning season with a record of 8-7-1, but fell short of the playoffs following Sunday’s 19-10 regular season finale loss to the New York Giants at FedExField in Landover, Md.
