Outside of the cut downs that will take place before the 2020 NFL season starts, all 32 rosters in the league are pretty much set, for the most part. As it stands now, the Washington Redskins have some hope for a successful season, but when looking at the rest of the NFC East, there’s little chance that they can make it to the top half of the division, barring an incredible season.
When looking at the other teams in the division, and predicting who is going to finish where, however, it got us to thinking… If the Redskins were living in a world where they could choose one player from each team to add to their roster, who would best suit them? Who would look better in the Burgundy & Gold, and how much better would the team be because of it?
It may never happen, but it’s at least entertaining to think about. Let’s dive in. Of all the Dallas Cowboys players, who would be the best suited in Washington?
WR Amari Cooper — Dallas Cowboys
This is an easy one, seeing as the Redskins were seemingly close to actually getting Cooper on the roster in free agency earlier this year. While he ended up turning down a deal worth more than $100 million to stick with the Cowboys, picturing Amari in the Redskins offense — alongside Terry McLaurin and on the receiving end of some bombs from Dwayne Haskins — is intriguing.
It’s fair to wonder if his presence would stunt the growth of McLaurin, but it’s easy to think that Haskins would be far better off with Cooper on the depth chart. His route-running and sure-hands alone would add a viable threat to Washington’s already impressive stack of offensive weapons, and a veteran presence in the receiving corps would be a bonus as well.
