The William Jackson III contract was initially filed as having a fourth year that voids; it actually has a fifth year that also voids and therefore lowers his cap number each year. So his cap hits are: $4.656 million in 2021; $14 million in 2022 and $15.75 million in 2023. If he's cut after the 2022 season he would count $9 million in dead money, but there would be a $6.75 million cap savings.

Looking ahead: Among the areas Washington still wants to address, whether now, during the draft or after -- free safety, left tackle, tight end, linebacker, running back and a dual returner. At running back it's for depth, but they need starters at the first three spots. They also will strongly consider drafting a quarterback, if one they like is available, and they're monitoring the situation with New England WR N'Keal Harry. But they don't feel they absolutely have to add another big target.

Looking back: Washington signed slot receiver Adam Humphries to a one-year deal Thursday. It allows Washington to not just align Curtis Samuel in one spot. It wants to use him in the slot, but also outside and in the backfield. He was most effective in the slot last year, but also caught 14 passes outside and eight out of the backfield, in addition to running the ball 41 times.
