These are Dan Snyder's Washington Redskins by technicality only. The hiring of general manager Scot McCloughan was the first signal that the team would go in a different direction when constructing its roster.
Evidenced by the restraint the team showed during the free-agency period this offseason, the days of building through free agency are over. Instead, as McCloughan put it to Mike Jones of The Washington Post, "you draft and mold your own and re-sign your own.”
While the molding part falls on head coach Jay Gruden and the coaching staff, the contract side of things falls at McCloughan's doorstep.
