7-9, 1st NFC East
Washington has had a roster in need of help for the last decade, but they have some young pieces to hopefully turn it around. Dwayne Haskins is being asked to step into a rough situation with a pedestrian offensive line and no real receiving threats outside of Terry McLaurin. Now the defensive side could be a surprise this season, and they drafted the best pass rusher in the draft, Chase Young. This defense wasn't bad in 2019, but it was put into rough spots on the offense. The Redskins still need receiving and tight end help, and they have a surplus of running backs on the roster.

It's been a rough few seasons for the Redskins with their last playoff appearance coming in 2015. Washington ended the 2019 season with a 3-13 record, which made them the 2nd-worst team in the NFL. However, that record enabled them to have the #2 draft selection, where they drafted likely future All-Pro defensive end Chase Young. The Redskins also brought in some solid veteran free agents including linebacker Thomas Davis, cornerbacks Kendall Fuller and Ronald Darby, safety Sean Davis, and running back Peyton Barber. Starting quarterback Dwayne Haskins will be entering his second season with the team and will be looking to shake off a rough rookie year. The team will likely benefit from their head coaching switch as Ron Rivera takes over as the head coach after several seasons in that role with the Carolina Panthers. The Redskins likely aren't ready for playoff contention this season, but they're headed in the right direction and should be better than last year. They have great odds to surpass their win total from last season.
The Redskins' highest-paid player is still Alex Smith with a $20.3 million cap hit. The quarterback played ten games for the Redskins before suffering a gruesome broken leg. After a flesh-eating bacteria infected the broken leg and threatened his life, it's unclear if he'll ever step on a football field again.
Dan Snyder is the current owner of the Redskins and he acquired the team in 1999. He is the founder of Snyder Communications and serves on six different NFL committees, mostly related to media/digital. Snyder has seen his fair share of controversy as the owner of the team.
The current Redskins' head coach is Ron Rivera, who is entering his first year in that role. Rivera previously spent nine seasons from 2011-2019 as the Panthers' head coach, with the highlight being a 15-1 record and a
The Redskins currently have about $36.5 million in available cap space, which is the second-most in the NFL. Washington only has four players with a $10+ million cap hit this season and still have plenty of room to add some veteran talent to the roster before the season begins.
The Redskins' starting quarterback heading into this season is Dwayne Haskins, who is a second-year pro and was a first-round pick last year. Haskins had a tough rookie season with a 2-5 record in his seven starts, putting up just 1,365 yards, 7 touchdowns, and 7 interceptions on the year.
The Giants' top two picks in this year's draft were Andrew Thomas, an offensive tackle out of Georgia, and Xavier McKinney, a safety out of Alabama. Both players are 21 years old, making them the youngest players on the roster. Undrafted rookie running back Javon Leake is also 21 years old.
Colt McCoy is the oldest player on the Giants' roster heading into this season at 33 years old. He's entering his 10th NFL season and will now serve as the backup quarterback for Daniel Jones and the Giants after filling that role for the Redskins for a handful of seasons.
