Top five linebackers for Redskins to target in 2020 free agency

When looking at the Redskins defense, one of their biggest positions of need comes at linebacker. They have some intriguing talent there — Cole Holcomb and Shaun Dion Hamilton stand out among their young players — but moving to a 4-3, they need both depth and talent to help round out the position group.

One of the biggest reasons the Redskins could need to add a top-tier talent at this position is related to the health of Reuben Foster. Foster suffered a devastating knee injury just a few plays into OTAs last year and there are questions about whether or not he will be able to play to start the 2020 season.
