Overall Departure Grades

The Redskins still have a lot of free agents that have yet to be signed or re-signed. Thus, the grade for this section is still not fully complete.

Based off of the departures that the team has had, things do look bleak on paper. However, as more details come out about the contracts signed, the moves make a little more sense for the Redskins. But there is no denying that they made some mistakes and that the departures will hurt them.

At the end of the day, I do not think that the Redskins have done the best that they could with player re-signing. They should have retained one of these players, and they should have made that player Baker. I will give them a poor grade mostly weighted on that decision.

Overall Departure Grades: D+
