That said, big signings haven’t always helped the Washington Redskins. The team’s free agency woes have been well-documented under Dan Snyder and Bruce Allen. From Albert Haynesworth to Jeff George to Terrelle Pryor, the Redskins have displayed a tendency to fail in evaluating free agent options.
With just $17 million in cap space this year, Washington won’t be able to spend at will in 2019. But with a few cuts, they can make $17 million over $30 million. And then, they’d be able to take a risk, something they take pleasure in doing.
While every free agent signing is a risk, some players are more secure than others.
