When the Washington Redskins won the NFC East in 2012, they entered the offseason without a lot of cap room (thanks to the penalty), but also with the belief that not a whole lot needed to be done.
It’s different this time -- and that’s not a bad thing. Monday provides evidence that the Redskins aren’t focused on sentimentality or trying to keep everyone together.
They not only cut two defensive starters (Jason Hatcher and Dashon Goldson, though the latter could return with a much lower salary at some point), they also let it be known that a handful of vets won’t return.
