2019 Washington Redskins season

88th season in franchise history; final one with the "Redskins" name

The 2019 season was the Washington Redskins' 88th in the National Football League (NFL) and their sixth and final under head coach Jay Gruden, as well as their final season being known as the Redskins. The team retired the name and logo following the season after years of controversy regarding it.[1][2] After five straight losses to open the season, their worst since 2001, the team fired Gruden and appointed offensive line coach Bill Callahan as interim head coach. The team finished 3–13, matching their worst 16-game record from the 1994 and 2013 seasons, which was the league's second-worst record that year, ahead of only the 2–14 Cincinnati Bengals.

The team's 3–13 record dropped the team to a combined record of 4–19 following Alex Smith's season-ending injury against the Houston Texans the previous season; Washington had entered that game at 6–3. Smith returned to the active roster in 2020. Following the season's end, team president Bruce Allen and several others within the team's front office were fired.[3]

Notes

  • Washington traded their fourth-round selection to the Green Bay Packers in exchange for safety Ha Ha Clinton Dix, and forfeited their sixth-round selection after selecting cornerback Adonis Alexander in the 2018 supplemental draft.
  • As the result of a negative differential of free agent signings and departures that Washington experienced during the 2018 free agency period, the team was projected to receive three compensatory selections for the 2019 draft. Exact numbers of the selections from rounds 4–7 is to be determined when compensatory selections are awarded at the NFL's annual spring owners' meetings.[4]
  • Washington was awarded four compensatory picks including their second selections in rounds 3, 5 and 7 and their sole pick in round 6.[5]
  • Washington traded their second-round selection to the Indianapolis Colts in exchange for the 26th overall selection in the 2019 NFL Draft and a second round selection in the 2020 NFL Draft.[6]
  • Washington traded their third-round compensatory selection (pick 96) to the Buffalo Bills in exchange for picks 112 and 131 in the 2019 NFL Draft.[7]
