The Washington Redskins have a number of options that they can go with at the left guard position to play alongside Chase Roullier and Brandon Scherff, but a new free agent hit the market on Friday that might blow the other players out of the water.
The New Orleans Saints released guard Larry Warford on Friday after three years with the team. Warford has played seven seasons in the NFL, standing as one of the better guards in the league during that time. Now as he enters the 2020 offseason without a team, it stands that the Redskins could greatly benefit from adding him to their front line and helping to shore up the left side.
The Redskins currently have over $35 million in cap space, which ranks second in the NFL, so money is not an issue. They also have a question mark at the LG position, with both Wes Martin and Wes Schweitzer expected to compete for the starting spot. With whoever gets the nod expected to help carry some of the load left by whoever wins the LT spot, likely rookie Saahdiq Charles, it stands to reason that the LG needs to be reliable as ever.
Warford is reliable, and he makes sense in Washington. Keep an eye on this going forward.
