2018 Free Agency Outlook: Defensive Linemen

The Washington Redskins head into the new league year with a majority of their defensive linemen from the 2017 season under contract. Of course, the Redskins added three new faces to the group during free agency and the NFL Draft last year.

First, within hours of free agency opening, the Redskins signed veterans Stacy McGee and Terrell McClain to contracts. Then, more than a month after acquiring both players, Washington selected Ashburn, Va., native and unanimous All-American Jonathan Allen with the No. 17-overall pick after he unexpectedly fell to the middle of the first round.
