Building a 2021 WFT the Rivera Way

Coming off an inspiring 2020 season, led by Ron Rivera and a team built on youthful enthusiasm, things are looking up for the Washington Football Team in 2021, but, there’s work to be done this offseason.

First up will be free agency, then the draft, and eventually the off-season competition for various roles. The strength of this team - one which pre-dates Rivera’s arrival - has been the ability to identify and acquire talent, through the draft for the past couple of years. It’s important to give those personnel evaluators - in conjunction with the coaching staff - as many chances as possible to add low-cost talent to the roster.
