Some big names are on the roster bubble for the Washington Redskins in 2017, including a veteran defensive back and the team's first-choice running back at the start of last season.Both players find their places under threat from new talent at their respective positions. It's a similar story at outside linebacker, where an oft-injured vet may no longer be needed after Washington wisely used a second-round pick to address the position in this year's NFL draft.Speaking of members of the Redskins' draft class, the arrival of one late-round rookie should make two incumbent tight ends nervous.
