RICHMOND – The 2013 season is a big year for the Washington Redskins as they try to build on last season’s success and show they have developed into a contender in the league and not just a flash-in-the-pan team.
But the 2013 campaign also carries great significance for the future of a number of defensive players. Twelve defensive players – six of them starters – are entering the final years of their contracts.
Brian Orakpo, London Fletcher, Perry Riley, DeAngelo Hall, Josh Wilson, Brandon Meriweather, Reed Doughty, Rob Jackson, E.J. Biggers, Chris Baker and Nick Barnett all will be free agents in the offseason of 2014.

There is no difference with our players. We have got a lot of guys on our football team that we would like back. Hopefully they have the type of year that warrants that type of big contract because we would like to take care of our players.”

are you kidding me - it is WAY TOO EARLY to be having this discussion
