For the optimistic D.C. sports fan, there’s plenty of reason to be excited about the Washington Redskins‘ upcoming 2018 campaign. Recent years have taught some to be cautious, in fear of being disappointed, as has happened many times before.
But early indicators suggest that this season could be different. The Washington Redskins moved on from the Kirk Cousins era rather seamlessly by trading for Alex Smith. They struck gold in the NFL Draft, and with Jay Gruden heading into his fifth year, continuity and comfort should be at a high, at least among recent years.
Perhaps the most exciting development of the offseason, for the Washington Redskins, is that the team’s roster, unlike previous years, has very few, if any, glaring holes.
