The Washington Redskins lost wide receiver Jamison Crowder to the New York Jets in free agency this offseason, leaving a rather big hole in the Redskins’ passing game.

When the Washington Redskins drafted Derrius Guice last year, he was expected to play a major role in their offense heading into 2018, but the running back then proceeded to tear his ACL in preseason, shelving him for the entire campaign.
