Report: Redskins have interest in free agent EDGE Brandon Copeland

The Redskins need help at the edge position. This isn’t a secret. With Preston Smith now on the Packers, the team needs to replace him as a starter. While former second-round pick Ryan Anderson may get a chance to battle for the starting role, the team still needs some competition for him. And after that, they will certainly need some depth.

As it stands Cassanova McKinzy is the only depth rush linebacker on the team’s roster. He only joined the team midway through last season before he got hurt, so he can’t be relied on as anything more than a rotational player and special teamer.
