The depth on Washington’s 2021 roster will likely be the best it’s been in years, if not decades. Through solid drafting over the past several years, as well as some very shrewd free agency moves over the last two seasons, the WFT has not only a very solid group of starters - particularly on the defense - but it also has a number of back-up players who could likely be starters on several other NFL teams (e.g., Tim Settle, Matt Ioannidis, Ereck Flowers/Wes Schweitzer).
This piece focuses on one very prominent, and four less prominent, players who, if successful, could help the team be competitive into the playoffs, or if unsuccessful, could be washed out of the league within a couple of years.
