Redskins Players to Extend

This is one of the most difficult sections to write about. The front office will certainly extend a few players during the offseason, but who will receive new contracts? You could ask ten different members of the Redskins media and receive ten separate ideas. Offering a second contract to a player can have consequences, per Hogs Haven, but it can also offer upside and continuity.

Fans will obviously have many scenarios as well, but let’s take a look at three Redskins who should be extended.

Jamison Crowder is a productive slot receiver who averaged 64 catches a season in his first three years. The Redskins should extend him for five years and with a contract that is similar to Paul Richardson’s deal.

Ha-Ha Clinton-Dix was traded to the Redskins just over a week ago. As another product of the Alabama Crimson Tide, he has been a solid free safety since entering the league and he should be extended for at least four years.

D.J. Swearinger has another year remaining on his contract, but it would make a lot of sense to extend him for an extra three seasons. He is the emotional and de facto leader of the defense.
