Well, if there is a positive to find in the Redskins dealing Kendall Fuller, it's what could be gleaned from this conversation between two Redskins free-agents-to-be.
Zach Brown, coming off a stellar year in Washington, wanted to pay his respects to Kansas City-bound Fuller, while welcoming Alex Smith to D.C.
Hey alex welcome to DC! #HTTR #trustwecoming .. my boi @KeFu11er your always be family. Now go ball young man!! #HTTR4life
— Zach Brown (@ZachBrown_55) February 1, 2018As Junior Galette astutely observed, Brown — whom the Redskins badly want to re-sign — appeared to phrase his tweet in the context of someone who's not leaving D.C. any time soon.

JR i know all lol
— Zach Brown (@ZachBrown_55) February 1, 2018Linebacker is a particularly daunting position of need for the Redskins, who have five players — Brown, Galette, Trent Murphy, Will Compton and Chris Carter — all due to hit free agency in 2018. Mason Foster was also free agency bound, but re-signed on a two-year deal last week.
In a radio interview with 106.7 The Fan, Foster said he had kept in close contact with Brown and Will Compton — "we're all really good friends" — and remained optimistic about the three reuniting in Washington next season.
Enter J.P. Finlay, Redskins reporter for NBC Sports Washington, who brought the complete picture into frame.
