Last offseason, the Redskins made the choice to let Spencer Long walk in free agency. The former third-round pick had been the team’s starter at center for two seasons, but with the promising, young Chase Roullier waiting in the wings, the Redskins decided to let Long walk to increase their compensatory pick standing. The decision apparently turned out to be a solid one.
In his first season with the Jets, Long started 13 games but had some issues with the team. Notably, he had trouble snapping the ball at times, and in a Week 9 loss to the Dolphins, he and Sam Darnold couldn’t get on the same page.
