Offensive skills positions

QB Steven Montez. Montez was a great get for Washington as an undrafted free agent, as the Colorado product has all the tools needed to develop into a solid passer at the NFL level. He may not be ready for action right now, but keeping him on the practice squad to develop for a season would be a smart move and would add more youth and talent to Washington’s quarterback room.

WR Trey Quinn. Quinn was one of Washington’s surprise cuts, as they opted to go with just five receivers on their active roster to start the season. Of course, they could decide to add another player via waivers but even if so, it wouldn’t hurt the team to keep some extra depth in the slot. Quinn isn’t an explosive player, but he can play the slot and special teams. He could be a reliable call-up in case any of Washington’s top receivers go down in the coming weeks.

WR Tony Brown. Washington added Brown to their roster late in camp at the expense of Darvin Kidsy. Brown had 56 catches for 707 yards and five scores during his final season at Colorado and has some chemistry with Montez. His upside is strong enough to bank on in a practice squad role.

WR Johnathan Johnson. Johnson couldn’t quite crack Washington’s 53-man roster but the former Missouri receiver still has a ton of upside. He’s an explosive playmaker similar to Steven Sims, so giving him more time to develop on the practice squad would be a good move. Perhaps Sims can mentor him during the season and help him emerge as a future backup slot man for Washington.

TE Hale Hentges. Many fans wanted to see Hentges make the active roster because he’s a young, well-balanced player who did well in limited action last year. He lost out on a spot to Logan Thomas, Marcus Baugh, and Jeremy Sprinkle, but keeping him as a fourth tight end and potential early call-up if the tight end room struggles makes a ton of sense.
