The Washington Redskins did a lot to add talent to their roster during the 2018 offseason. Here’s a look at who their most impactful additions will be.

Rosters are never built in just one offseason. They’re built as an amalgamation of several offseasons, drafts, contract extensions, and free agent signings that can help to build a contender. That said, the 2018 offseason was a great one for the Washington Redskins, and it continued a trend of two consecutive strong offseason performances.

The Redskins appear to be on the verge of becoming a playoff contender, and that is largely thanks to the players they have added. After all, they already had a solid (albeit injury riddled) roster in 2017. They only needed to fix a few positions in order to make a big impact on their squad.

They did just that, and now, it will be time for these new acquisitions to step up and make a big impact. Here’s a look at the top five of those acquisitions, and how quickly they will be able to make a difference for the Washington Redskins franchise.
