Yeah, but with Chase on the edge and Kerrigan (restructure his salary) and Ionnadis as the backups to keep everyone fresh, we won’t have a good pass rush, we will have a potentially “great” pass rush which will instill fear in QB and DC.
I also think you’ll see Sweat come into his own as a very good pass rusher.

Yeah,
I think the Redskin’s pass rush will improve a great deal for the following reasons:
1. The defensive coordinator, Del Rio, is light years better than Greg Manusky. The entire defensive schemes will be better than Manusky’s. Del Rio has led defenses in the top 10 and even top 5 in the NFL. Manusky has led his defenses to the bottom of the NFL (2019 -Redskin’s were 27th). So we’ll see our pass rush get better JUST due to a better run defense.
2. 4-3 versus 3-4. Sweat went back into coverage about HALF the pass plays because of the 3-4 defense. The 4-3 is much better suited to the players we have and will improve the play rush over last year.
3. Chase Young. We’ll know more about Chase Young at the combine. We’ll find out about how he interviews and all the physical tests of the combine. I think we’ll find out he is a physical freak. But it’s impossible to predict the future. In college, Chase Young was considered better than either Bosa. But, until Chase actually plays in the NFL, we have no idea how good he is. Still, based on his college tape, I still think he will be as good as predicted. Will he be great, very good, or just good? Only time will tell.
These three reasons are why our pass rush will get better this season. I think our pass rush will be far better than last season. We were 11th in the sacks last season. It will get better and our defense will improve A LOT from its dismal 27th ranking. That’s what’s important - getting a better defense, not how many sack Chase Young gets. I think the pass rush will be very good, for the reasons above. Above that level (outstanding, elite, great) we’ll have to see. I can’t wait to see how good it is!

Jordan Reed is still in concussion protocol (https://theathletic.com/1610811/2020/02/17/jordan-reed-still-not-ready-and-what-paul-richardsons-release-means-for-the-receiver-group/?source=shared-article)
I wonder what his injury settlement is going to look like.

Jason Reed needs to retire. The fact that he is still in concussion recovery is a critical indication that he should never play again. The Redskins can not resign him.

I think he will be dropped very soon, so that he has the most opportunity to find a position with another team. Although many ppl think that Jason is making a huge mistake by not retiring, he may be picked up by another team in a one year deal. Not worth the money he will receive, but he is making this decision.
I’d be surprised if Jason Reed ISN’T dropped by the Redskins with the next week or so. His $8.5 mill in cap savings will go to pay for signing Hooper in FA.

Jason Reed was the favorite of former Redskins coach Jon Gruden. The Kurt Cousins to Jason Reed connection was deadly in 2015.

Original post updated to reflect the release of TE Jordan Reed. Thank you Jordan! You were fun to watch when you were healthy and on top of your game.

I was writing so fast I was thinking Jordan but writing Jason. I should speech write for Bruce Allen!! lol
Anyway, JORDAN Reed is gone. I really liked him, but he could never stay healthy. I guess it doesn't surprise me that Bruce would bet the entire team's success last year on Reed, even with all his injuries. BA was always counting on guys who couldn't finish a season.
I was really hoping Jordan could come back last year. I was a little surprised that he played in the Pre-Season and that hit was just a cheap shot.

Original post updated to reflect some accounting cleaned up. Tress Way's extension actually doesn't affect his 2020 cap number at all, the extension goes into effect in 2021. Some other true ups completed to stay in sync with Over The Cap, who deserves tremendous credit for staying on top of the cap situations of every team in the NFL.
