2013 NFL offseason team needs: NFC East

The Redskins badly need some help at the safety position. In fact, the whole secondary is in shambles. They were No. 30 in the league against the pass in 2012, allowing 281.9 passing yards per game. Contrast that with the fact that they were the NFL’s No. 5 rushing defense, and we have a clear picture of their need.

The folks over at Hogs Haven gave a list of their top team needs for the Redskins this offseason:

After finishing with the fourth-fewest points scored and the fourth-most points allowed during the 2012 season, the Eagles could certainly use some changes on many aspects of their team and, after finishing with a 4-12 record in 2012, they’ll be in the position to do so in the draft in 2013.

However, Rodgers-Cromartie is an impending free agent and could still be a priority for the team to bring back despite his struggles. Regardless, the position is one that needs upgrading and will likely be the focus of the 2013 offseason.

The biggest area of need for the Cowboys is between the tackles as they’re weakest at guard and center.

Linebacker could have been an issue, but the Cowboys made a surprise decision to pony up over $10 million for Anthony Spencer at the franchise tag deadline. Now they will turn their attention to shoring up the secondary. Barry Church is coming off injured reserve and Gerald Sensabaugh was unexpectedly released on the same day that Spencer scored his huge paycheck, leaving Dallas desperate for bodies at safety.
