Redskins are engaged in contract talks with left guard Ereck Flowers, per source. No guarantee it gets done before free agency but both sides would like things to work out.

While the Trent Williams trade situation is fluid, and ongoing talks are taking place with right guard Brandon Scherff, the Washington Redskins are now reportedly engaging in a discussion with left guard Ereck Flowers, looking to sign him to an extension.
Flowers spent his first year with the Redskins in 2019, and he was highly-successful after moving from LT to LG. After being drafted with the ninth overall pick in 2015, Flowers was labeled as a bust with the New York Giants. That label was removed last year after his stellar year where he allowed just two sacks throughout his first season with the team.
It’s very clear that Ereck Flowers must be re-signed long term. 937 snaps, only 2 sacks allowed. Could finally have some stability at LG. Get a deal done!

Assuming that the Redskins can get a deal done with Scherff as well, the front line will be in solid shape, returning four of the previous five starts. The only question mark that would remain is at the left tackle position, and who knows what’s liable to happen there.
