The Redskins are rebuilding: 6 biggest takeaways from Rivera press conference

The Redskins are planning to rebuild with a fresh start in 2020, and they won’t chase cheap wins this coming season.

Stay Patient, but continue to be aggressive

Rivera knows that there is a lot of rebuilding to do for the Redskins before they can become a contending team that makes deep runs into the playoffs, and he knows that this won’t happen overnight. They aren’t likely to be a playoff team in 2020, but that doesn’t mean they can’t win a few games and have a solid base for the future.

A winning record in 2020 may be far fetched, but in 2021? It’s not crazy to think that can happen. As for now, the Redskins are okay with staying the course and not chasing wins in 2020. They’re playing the long game.
