The Washington Redskins know that they will have two major priorities going into the 2017 off-season, regardless of how 2016 ends for them.

First and foremost they have to get the situation with Kirk Cousins squared away. He may not be Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady, but he’s proven he can be an effective starter. Get a deal done and make sure he doesn’t leave via free agency. That being done, it’s all about the defense. If Washington wants to become a serious contender in the NFC, they have to correct their ongoing problems on that side of the ball.
