5. RT Morgan Moses

Would the Redskins be willing to get rid of two highly-paid offensive tackles in one offseason? Maybe not. But they should absolutely consider it.

In recent seasons, Moses’ play has declined for the Redskins. He hasn’t been nearly as strong at right tackle as he was when he signed a five-year, $38.5 million extension in April of 2018. This year alone, he has already committed seven penalties, and that has constantly put the Redskins behind the chains.

Moses has also had minor injuries over the course of his time with the team that may have had an impact on him. He has always been able to suit up on game day, but playing at less than 100 percent may have taken a toll on him.

Beyond that, it seems that Moses has gotten complacent. Since signing his contract extension, he hasn’t played as well and hasn’t been as much of a leader on the offensive line as some may have hoped. Maybe that won’t be enough to move on from him, but with a dead cap hit of $3.8 million, the team feasibly could move on from him.

We’ll see if the team has any interest in moving Moses in a trade. But if they can’t do that, they’ll probably keep him around, as they have a number of offensive linemen set to hit free agency.
