The Washington Football Team enters 2021 NFL free agency coming off a 7-9 season (and NFC East title), in 2020 and has 15 unrestricted free agents.
Washington, of course, needs to find a starting quarterback. Then it needs to provide more help for its QBs, starting with receiver and tackle. It also needs another tight end. Defensively, it needs a linebacker, a safety and a cornerback. Washington also needs to re-sign guard Brandon Scherff and extend defensive tackle Jonathan Allen.
Here's what to expect from Washington when the NFL offseason hits high gear with the start of free agency on March 17:
QUARTERBACK
Under contract: Alex Smith, Taylor Heinicke, Steven Montez
UFA: None
Game plan: Washington wants to upgrade its starter, whether via trade or free agency, but won't do it at all costs, knowing it still needs more around any quarterback it acquires.
