Greetings to all. Welcome to the final roster prediction of 2018. Cool, crisp fall weather will be here before you know it. That is football weather! Hello to everyone on social media. We extend an invitation to take a look around here and we hope you will become a member.
The Washington Redskins will have their final preseason game against the Ravens Thursday night. The roster will be finalized on Friday and Saturday (NFL deadline is 4pm EDT Saturday afternoon) and we will know who makes it and who is cut. There could be some surprises. There could be astonishing cuts. Another free agent could be added to the team. A trade may occur. In other words, strap in tight – here is BBQ's final roster prognostication this year.

The roster prediction of fifty-three for the Redskins is merely a guessing game this late in the preseason, but many players are obvious roster locks. Injuries can alter the roster and dictate changes as needed. A talented player being released by another team may happen – a left guard comes to mind. Younger players could supplant veterans. A surprise trade can happen at any moment. This final roster projection is a best guess scenario.
We'll have updates to the roster on Thursday night to Saturday night (and beyond, if needed).
Hail To The Redskins!
