The Facts: The discussion over whether the Redskins retain free agent wide receivers DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garcon often centers on whether it's one or another. With their 2016 season over, another option is emerging: Neither. If that happens, Washington would likely add veteran help during the offseason with Britt a viable option, multiple sources tell Breaking Burgundy.
Diehards Line:
Britt, 28, is coming off the best NFL season of his eight-year career and projects as one of the top 2017 free agent options among receivers. He set personal bests with 68 receptions, 1,002 yards and 111 targets along with five touchdowns. Those numbers may not seem gaudy in this NFL era, but Britt did so playing for a Rams offense that ranked last in scoring and total yards. The production, the 6-3 Britt's red-zone potential and uncertainty over their receiver depth chart has led to interest from the Redskins, according to a league source. Chicago's Alshon Jeffery, Jackson, Garcon and Britt are the likely receiver headliners among the 2017 free agents.
