Washington Football Team Free Agency Outlook: Part 3

The Washington Football Team opens the season against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday and many new players grace the roster for 2021.

Welcome to the final free agency update for 2021.  We started this process seven months ago with some predictions and early updates.  Today’s update is a comprehensive look at what has transpired from January to the present.

Five months ago we had a second update after the initial madness of free agency and nearly a month before the draft.  Today, we bring you the final update. We will have three updates once again during the 2022 offseason and there will be some minor changes.

Let’s jump right in and see how the 2021 offseason progressed to the present.
