The Washington Redskins still have a lot of money to spend in free agency, and there are a few holes on their roster that could be addressed, mainly at the left tackle and cornerback position.
Many thought that they would use the NFL Draft to add some depth, not much was done outside of the addition of Saahdiq Charles, an LT from LSU. Still, there are a few players left on the free-agent market that could be brought in to Washington on a one-year deal and help fill some holes instantly. A couple of the biggest stop-gaps left on the market are LT Jason Peters and CB Logan Ryan. However, according to ESPN’s John Keim, these are a couple of unlikely additions to the Redskins roster.
“Unless the thinking changes, I don’t see them in on guys like Logan Ryan or Jason Peters,” Keim said on The John Keim Report podcast.
It’s understandable that Washington might shy away from Peters, seeing as he is represented by Vincent Taylor, the same guy who represents Trent Williams. A slightly contentious relationship there could keep those two sides apart, but adding a player like Ryan could instantly add depth to the defense where it needs it.
As the summer mons start to come, a couple of free agents might end up being signed by the Redskins, but it’s hard to tell who just yet. With over $35 million in cap space to spend, though, it would be shocking to see Washington roll all of that over into next year.
