CHANTILLY, Va. -- The Washington Redskins didn't pursue any big names in free agency, which didn’t bother their players. In a new twist for the Redskins, there’s faith in what the front office is doing.
That hasn’t always been the case in Washington. But defensive end Ricky Jean Francois said the players understand what general manager Scot McCloughan is doing. It’s not as if every move McCloughan made paid off with great dividends, but they were good enough to improve the team's win total by five games, win the NFC East and change the franchise's culture.
