One of the early season surprises, the Washington Redskins fell back down to reality quickly, finishing a dismal 5-11 season in a NFC East division that was up for grabs even into Week 14. The list of Redskins’ unrestricted free agents heading into this offseason is long, and in some cases, complicated. Washington simply wasn’t talented enough to make plays when plays were needed to be made in 2011, and that begins with an aging core defense.
With an 8-8 finish to the 2011 season, it’s safe to say the fiery, highly-tauted New York Jets took a step back this year. Rex Ryan continued to talk his talk, and wag his finger at opposing coaches, players, and the media, but the product on the field this season just never found consistency, or flair.
After a surprisingly excellent start to 2011, the Buffalo Bills fell back down to earth, finishing 6-10, and earning the #10 selection in the 2012 NFL Draft. Spotrac discusses their current free agents, areas of concern, and possible off season signings.
The Arizona Cardinals ended the 2011 regular season with an 8-8 record, and looking ahead to the offseason, are in fairly decent shape as far as contracts and free agency are concerned.
