Quarterback (3): Ryan Fitzpatrick, Taylor Heinicke, Kyle Allen

Unfortunately for Taylor Heinicke fans, Ryan Fitzpatrick looks to be the lead signal caller come Week 1. Heinicke will serve as the primary backup, but could certainly see the field if Fitzy were to revert back to his turnover filled ways

Kyle Allen will beat out Steven Montez for the third quarterback role. Montez can probably be stashed on the practice squad if the team feels compelled to keep a developmental prospect. Allen knows the offense and seems to be genuinely liked by the coaching staff.

Washington may not have significantly improved the quarterback position in the offseason, but the team is arguably better than last year with the three that are expected to make the final roster this year.
