Team officials will place a heavy emphasis on defense in free agency and the draft. The first known free-agent visit will take place with former Rams defensive end Chris Long.

Meanwhile, efforts to re-sign a number of Redskins remain ongoing. Here’s a look at where things stand with the Washington players who entered the offseason with expiring deals:

QB Kirk Cousins – Retained with the franchise-player tag.

ILB Will Compton – Signed a one-year, exclusive-rights free agent tender.

S Duke Ihenacho – Received his one-year tender on Monday.

RB Chris Thompson – Signed a one-year, exclusive-rights free agent tender.

P Tress Way – Signed a one-year, exclusive-rights free agent tender.

QB Colt McCoy – The two sides have had talks and share mutual interest, but McCoy could opt to test the market first. Rumors out of Dallas have the Cowboys making a run at the former Texas star.

CB Will Blackmon – Mutual interest in working out a new deal. Coaches like his versatility. Can play corner and nickel, and also could wind up playing safety in 2016.

T Tom Compton – A backup capable of playing tackle, guard and tight end, Compton was the only exclusive-rights free agent who had yet to receive his tender as of Monday night.

ILB Mason Foster – Interest in both camps on working out a new deal. Would likely return as starter next to Compton.

OLB Junior Galette – Mutual interest in a return, however negotiations hit a snag when Galette fired his agent. He just signed a new representative on Monday, so talks will soon resume.

DL Kedric Golston – The longtime Redskin’s status remains up in the air. As officials look to become younger and more explosive up front, his time in Washington could be over.

C Josh LeRibeus – The 2012 third-round pick struggled as the starting center. He likely will be moving on.

DE Frank Kearse – Cut multiple times last season and active for just four games, he seems likely to shop his services to another team.

NT Terrance Knighton – Informed by the team that he will not be re-signed.

RB Alfred Morris – Informed by team that he should test free agency, although a small possibility remains that he returns.

TE Logan Paulsen – The team’s top blocking tight end missed the entire year with torn ligaments in his big toe. There’s some interest in re-signing him, but it’s unclear how strong.

ILB Keenan Robinson – Will be allowed to depart via free agency.

TE Alex Smith – He has interest in re-signing, but it’s unclear if the interest is mutual.

RB Pierre Thomas – Moderate interest on the team’s part in re-signing him, but they could wait to see how things play out with others in free agency.

CB Cary Williams – There had been no contact as of early this week
