The Washington Redskins have a lot of decisions to make during the 2019 offseason. Here’s a look at a simulation that spans all of NFL free agency and the 2019 NFL Draft.

The Redskins 2018 season mercifully came to an end just under a week ago. And now, the team is preparing for the 2019 offseason. This offseason will be a very important one for the team, as they are dealing with a lot of questions. They also don’t have certainty at quarterback but frankly, at this point, that is nothing new.

Alex Smith‘s injury puts the Redskins in a very tough situation. He’s going to stay on the books no matter what, but he may not play. And even if he does, he might not be 100 percent. Because of this, the team is a bit hamstrung. They don’t have the cap space needed to add a veteran passer, but they may also not have the resources to get a worthwhile quarterback in the draft, either. What they do at the position will be the top thing to watch this offseason.

Elsewhere, the team has a plethora of key players hitting free agency, including Adrian Peterson, Jamison Crowder, and Preston Smith, among others. And, they are armed with nine draft picks too, so they should have a chance to add some quality playmakers there.

To get an accurate look at what could happen this offseason, we decided to run a simulation of what could happen. Using FanSpeak’s On The Clock and Manage The Cap tools, we were able to run through the entirety of free agency and the NFL Draft and remake the Redskins’ franchise.

Without further ado, here’s a look at a full simulation of the Redskins’ 2019 offseason.
