The Redskins play their home games at FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland. The Redskins stadium has a seating capacity of 91,665, making it the largest stadium in the NFL. The 2007 NFL schedule completed with a 9-7 record and 3^rd place finish in the NFC East. The Redskins were able to make the playoffs in large part because of the play of stars Clinton Portis, Santana Moss, Chris Cooley, and Jason Campbell.

The Redskins franchise was established in 1937, and has risen to a prominent place in American sports that the franchise is valued at over 1 Billion Dollars. Team owner Daniel Snyder bought the Redskins in 1999, and has had mixed results in hiring and retaining coaches, and in free agent acquisitions. The Redskins have benefited greatly from the advice and leadership of Joe Gibbs, who has retained a consultant relationship with the team. Overall, the Redskins have won 12 division titles, 5 conference championships, and 5 NFL titles including being Super Bowl Champions in 1982, 1987, and 1991.

The 2008 season will feature great change, as the year was greeted with the resignation of former head coach Joe Gibbs. Jim Zorn was hired by Daniel Snyder on January 25^th, 2008. Shortly thereafter, Sherman Smith was named offensive coordinator, and Greg Blache was hired as the defensive coordinator. Compared to years past, the Redskins have been relatively quiet on the free agent market. They've primarily resigned their own players including QB Todd Collins, OL Jason Fabini, and K Shaun Suisham. The Redskins have 5 picks in the 2008 NFL Draft, including the 21^st pick overall.
