2000 Washington Redskins season

The 2000 Washington Redskins season was the franchise's 69th season in the National Football League (NFL) and their 64th in Washington, D.C.. They failed to improve on their 10–6 record from 1999 and they went 8-8 and missed the playoffs despite starting the season 6-2.

Norv Turner, in his sixth season as the Redskins head coach, was fired the day after Week 14, in which they went 7-6. He was replaced by Terry Robiskie for the final two games.

This was the final season the Redskins wore the screen printed name and numbers on jerseys.

The off-season dominated when owner Dan Snyder acquired veteran free agents Bruce Smith, Deion Sanders and Mark Carrier. Smith would remain with the Redskins until 2003 while both Carrier and Sanders left the team at the end of the season, though Sanders returned to play for the Baltimore Ravens in 2004.

The season is notable for the Redskins drafting future Pro Bowlers Lavar Arrington and Chris Samuels with the second and third overall picks respectively in the first round of the 2000 NFL Draft.

gollark: Pretty awful, this being at home in the UK, but it works.
gollark: As I said, spare capacity on my webserver, it's *basically* free.
gollark: https://github.com/dizzyd/mcdex ← it's a nice command-line tool to manage modpacks
gollark: I think the best approach is probably to use curse's registry, but with something like mcdex and MultiMC instead of the horrible Twitch launcher.
gollark: Annoying to update as in annoying to keep mods up to date with, users could just `git pull`.
