The Redskins' team is considered to be the National Football League's second-most valuable franchise behind its arch-rival Dallas Cowboys. Players are anticipating a winning season under head coach Mike Shanahan and a roster that includes Heisman Trophy winner and quarterback Robert Griffin III. Pre-season injuries, however, have added uncertainty to the team's prospects.
Meanwhile, officials in the District of Columbia and Maryland are trying to lure the team's summer training camp to their jurisdictions. That competition comes in the wake of Redskins owner Dan Snyder's decision to relocate the camp from northern Virginia to Richmond in 2013.
