Burner’s Burning Questions: Free Agency, Mocks, Camps, OTAs, Roster Predictions, 2020
Greetings from BBQ to everyone here at BGO. We hope your week is a good one. Hello to everyone on social media. We’d love to have you as a member here and become part of the family. You are our honored guests, so sit back and enjoy.
Free Agency continues post-draft and is in its final phase. This is our latest free agency update for the off-season as the 2020 season inches closer and closer.
Who will we target in free agency before the regular season arrives? Who will we re-sign? Who will we not re-sign? Who will get released? Feel free to offer your opinions and predictions.
We take the latest chatter from Redskins Park and media pundits as BBQ tries to formulate what could happen in the coming days, weeks, and months.

Possible Free Agent Targets
We are bringing back this feature for 2020 and BBQ has enlisted the help of several Redskins pundits as well as input from yours truly. We have three people who have contributed thus far – Ian Cummings of Riggo’s Rag, Nathan Britton of Riggo’s Rag, and Mark Tyler of Hogs Haven. Obviously, the Redskins simply can’t sign all of these players. This list is simply some players who could fill a need and possibly be available in March.

Off-Season Updates
The Redskins cap room currently stands somewhere between $34M and $38M for 2020. Releases and re-structures (if they occur) could continue to increase the cap room considerably.
The Trent Williams era is over. He was a warrior for many seasons, but became a toxic presence over the last couple of years. He has expressed a hope of being in the Redskins Ring of Fame someday. Hopefully, for both sides, that will happen.
Alex Smith wants to continue his playing career, but that is not realistic. Will he give the Redskins any cap relief? No one knows, but we’ll stay on top of it.
The injury to Reuben Foster is serious, but he is working out and running sprints. Optimism is high for a full return by training camp.
The Redskins recently picked up the fifth year option for Jonathan Allen. Look for a long term deal next offseason.
The Redskins recently declined the fifth year option on Reuben Foster. A long term deal could still happen or the team may let him become a free agent after 2020.
Bryce Love, Jordan Brailford, and Caleb Wilson are hoping to see action on the football field for the first time in their Redskins careers. Love could be in line for a lot of quality playing time. Brailford and Wilson have uphill climbs to make the final roster of fifty-three.
On the first page of this offseason thread and the second entry, we have the latest updates on coaching hires and football front office positions being filled. That entry will be updated as needed.
Look for a long term deal to be completed with Brandon Scherff before the 2020 regular season begins.
Personal Thoughts
Here are some players that must have a superb offseason if they hope to be on the roster this fall according to BBQ: CB Greg Stroman, FS/ST Troy Apke, OT Morgan Moses, TE Jeremy Sprinkle, CB Fabian Moreau, OT Geron Christian, WR Trey Quinn, and ILB Josh Harvey-Clemons.
With Ron Rivera as the coach, look for a more disciplined team and a locker room that has more accountability. It sounds like the “luxury resort” atmosphere is a thing of the past.
In Conclusion
The free agency updates will continue as new information is available.
