We can be honest: Washington’s roster positionally needs — checks notes — almost everything. Other than defensive tackle, that’s not hyperbole. There are far more free agents (over 20) than returning starters from last year’s 4-13 team. Transactions galore are on tap.
Washington will keep some of its free agents. By sheer roster math, it has no choice. That doesn’t mean breaking the bank for more prominent names or rushing to retain others. Given its specific circumstances, losing cornerback Kendall Fuller and wide receiver Curtis Samuel wouldn’t be surprising. The same is valid for four-year starting safety Kamren Curl.
