FILE - In this Aug. 21, 2010, file photo, Washington Redskins defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth looks on before an NFL preseason football game against Baltimore Ravens in Landover, Md. People with knowledge of the negotiations say that the Washington Redskins and the Tennessee Titans are in discussions about a trade of disgruntled defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth. The people spoke to The Associated Press on Tuesday, Sept. 7, 2010, on condition of anonymity because the talks are confidential. Washington signed Haynesworth to a $100 million contract in 2009 as a free agent, and the tackle accepted a $21 million bonus in April. (AP Photo/Susan Walsh, File)

FILE - In this photo taken Aug. 29, 2015, file photo Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins throws to a receiver in the first half of a preseason NFL football game against the Baltimore Ravens, in Baltimore. Early on in training camp, new Washington Redskins general manager Scot McCloughan was asked what would constitute a successful season for a franchise coming off a 4-12 record and six last-place finishes in the past seven years. The most obvious change from 2014 to 2015 is that Robert Griffin III is no longer the starting quarterback as Washington prepares to host the Miami Dolphins in Week 1. Instead, the 2012 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year has been supplanted by Cousins, a fourth-round pick in the same draft that RG3 went No. 2 overall. (AP Photo/Nick Wass, File)

With six last-place finishes in the past seven years, the Washington Redskins have not mattered all that much in the latter stages of recent seasons. Just look at them now. They're actually relevant.
