Even though the Washington Redskins will have $31 million in salary cap space, they won’t necessarily swing for the fences when the negotiating window for free agency opens Monday.
History has shown the Redskins are willing to tackle the market in different ways. In January, Redskins coach Jay Gruden revealed Washington went after defensive lineman Calais Campbell last season, but settled for linemen Stacy McGee and Terrell McClain.
They do, however, have the money — and the track record — to be aggressive. In 2016, the Redskins opened up their checkbook to land cornerback Josh Norman with a five-year, $75 million deal.
