ASHBURN, Va. (AP) -Mike Shanahan and Bruce Allen are trying to remake the Washington Redskins, and the changes already have been swift and widespread.
The new coach and new GM have overhauled the staff of assistants, plan to switch to a 3-4 defense, have seen 100 percent attendance at voluntary workouts this week – the sorts of things that might be expected after a 4-12 season under the since-departed Jim Zorn and Vinny Cerrato.
The most significant difference in the eyes of many, though, is a suddenly measured approach to free agency under free-spending owner Dan Snyder, especially considering there is no salary cap.
Linebacker London Fletcher says Thursday the Redskins always “knew how to create excitement” during free agency in the past, “but it’s a new regime here now.”
