The Redskins made some splashes in free agency last year, signing players like D.J. Swearinger, Zach Brown, Stacy McGee, Terrell McClain, and Terrelle Pryor. From that batch, they received mixed results. Swearinger and Brown were top-notch contributors for much of the season, with Brown leading the league in tackles and Swearinger contributing greatly to an improving culture.
However, beyond those two players, the positives end rather quickly. Stacy McGee was an inconsistent player. His size helped in some situations, but he ultimately was relegated to a reserve role, as was Terrell McClain, whose play didn’t amount to half of his current salary.
