Colt McCoy — Quarterback
The Redskins may not choose to let McCoy go, but between him and Case Keenum, one of them needs to walk. With Dwayne Haskins as the leader in the competition for starting QB in 2020, the Redskins need to find a backup option who can compete for the top job throughout the summer, but will likely act as a stable QB2 once the season gets going. We argued earlier in the week that this player should be Keenum, but at this point, Keenum and McCoy are virtually interchangeable.
There is also the possibility that both Keenum and McCoy choose to walk in free agency, and they may think they have a better chance to find a spot for themselves elsewhere in the league. While it’s possible, they should also consider how competitive this year is for free agent QBs, and they might not find a better situation than what they have in Washington. Whether it’s Keenum or McCoy who stays in Washington, if either, the other should be allowed to find a new team and a new situation in 2020.
