While the Washington Redskins have their share of free agents to worry about this offseason, they would be incredibly wise to lock up Quinton Dunbar for the future as well.

Coming into the 2020 offseason, the Redskins have a slew of potential free agents to worry about, including a few of which they should consider re-signing, such as Brandon Scherff and Ereck Flowers.

But well-run franchises always have an eye on the future while they are in the present and generally don’t let quality players get to free agency. One player that still has a year left on his current deal Washington should look at extending this offseason is cornerback Quinton Dunbar.

Currently, Dunbar has one year remaining on the three-year $10.5 million dollar contract he signed in 2018. According to spotrac.com, he will have a base salary of $3.25 million and a $4.4 million cap hit for 2020. But, he could be in for a raise in the future.
