Hot topics from the Redskins Week that was

All NFL players are under pressure to perform. But some have a lot at stake personally in 2016. Here are five Redskins who are under pressure this year both on and off the field.

QB Kirk Cousins—The Redskins’ defense and running game may improve but they are still a passing team in a passing league and a lot of games will come down to Cousins’ right arm. If he plays the season out under the franchise tag he will be trying to make his case for big bucks; if he signs he will be under pressure to live up to it.

RB Matt Jones—It doesn’t look like the Redskins have a backup chute here; the running game will live or die with Jones. He will need to add nearly a yard to the league-worst 3.4 per carry average he had last year and cut down significantly on his fumbles if he is going to get it done. This is probably his one shot; running backs rarely get more than two seasons to develop. If Jones can’t get it done in 2016 the team will search for another solution in 2017 and Jones could end up fighting for snaps.

WR DeSean Jackson—There is a lot going on here. The Redskins offense was at its best last year when he was in the lineup and functioning at 100 percent. Jackson needs to stay healthy and in the lineup and play well. He put a big target on his back by deciding to skip a good portion of offseason workouts. On a personal level he will turn 30 late in the season and he needs to have a good year if he is going to get another lucrative contract, whether it’s in Washington or elsewhere.

CB Bashaud Breeland—Earlier this week Breeland said, “my opinion is that I can be the next Darrell Green.” It’s not as though the guy needed to put any more pressure on himself. Playing opposite Josh Normal is likely to cause plenty of passes to be thrown his way. Plus he has one more year before he is eligible for a contract extension. Breeland could be set for some time to come if he plays well in 2016.

S DeAngelo Hall—The Redskins are cautiously optimistic about Hall’s ability to lock down a safety job but the emphasis has to be on caution. He’ll be 33 in November, he has missed 19 games due to injuries in the last two year, and he’s playing a new position. Hall doesn’t have a huge contract but he doesn’t come cheap either, with cap hits of just over $5 million in each of the next two years. The team will be able to show some degree of patience as he adjusts to playing safety but his rope will not be unlimited.
