The Washington Football Team is now in transition to the offseason and free agency is just around the corner.  This blueprint will be updated many times in the coming months.

Free Agency never ends when you think about it, but the most active time for adding and cutting players is coming soon.

The Washington Football Team is likely assessing pending free agents from across the league and evaluating their own players at this time. The roster will obviously see plenty of changes during the 2021 offseason through free agency and the NFL draft. The Burgundy and Gold is still in a rebuild, but the path to success shortened a bit when the team won the NFC East title earlier this month.

Who will the front office target in free agency?  Will there be any major surprises from among the new free agents?  Who will be released from the current roster?  Will there be a stunning surprise release or two?

These are just a few of the questions that will be answered in the coming months, but each transaction will be placed under a microscope and thoroughly examined here at Riggo’s Rag.  You can count on it!

Today, we present to you a basic Washington Football Team free agency blueprint that will be updated weekly – perhaps a bit less when the early summer doldrums arrive and team news is limited.

This blueprint will list free agents, pending free agents, restricted/exclusive rights free agents, new signings, a cap tracker, a cap hit tracker (dead cap), exercised options, tenders, trades, extensions, injured lists, speculative lists, and so on.  We will not cover the so-called “camp fodder” types of players.  They will simply occupy a place on the roster of 90 for practice purposes this spring and summer.

The blueprint will also contain brief snippets on each player.  Feel free to use these blueprints throughout the offseason as a frame of reference to the entirety of free agency.

With that in mind, we now take the latest news, reports, chatter, and rumors from Football Team Park and try to formulate what could happen in the coming days, weeks, and months.
