Last year, the Washington Redskins missed out on earning any compensatory picks. They had opportunities to do so with the losses of DeSean Jackson, Pierre Garcon, John Sullivan, and Chris Baker, but those losses were nullified by the acquisitions of Terrelle Pryor, D.J. Swearinger, Stacy McGee, and Terrell McClain.
The Washington Redskins seem to be well aware of their mistake from last year. The front office has been unnaturally frugal. Through two days of legal tampering, the Washington Redskins have only signed one outside free agent in former Seahawks wide receiver Paul Richardson. Aside from re-signing reserve receiver Brian Quick, no other moves have been made.
