Injuries and underachievement brought a 4-12 finish in Jay Gruden's first season as head coach, and the Washington Redskins need to add talent to virtually all areas of the team this offseason.

With the league year starting next week, here are five noteworthy free agency rumors surrounding the Redskins.

5. S Brandon Meriweather Won't Be Re-Signed

5. S Brandon Meriweather Won't Be Re-Signed

Meriweather has always been known more for his suspension and fine-inducing cheap shots than anything else. Now that he is slated to be a free agent, the Redskins can look elsewhere for safety help.

4. LB Brian Orakpo Won't Be Back?

The Redskins chose not to use the franchise tag on Orakpo this year, and now he'll hit the free agent market with the Atlanta Falcons as reported competition for his services.

3. Interest In NT Dan Williams?

3. Interest In NT Dan Williams?

ESPN 980 reported Monday night that the Redskins have interest in Williams, who graded out as Pro Football Focus' No. 2 overall 3-4 nose tackle last season. Washington will have an overhauled defensive line next season, and Williams would be a great fit.

2. Interest In Ndamukong Suh?

If the Lions can't agree to a long-term deal with Suh, Dianna Marie Russini of NBC Washington has reported the Redskins would be interested. But signing Suh to a contract in line with his market value would make it impossible for the Redskins to add many more pieces in free agency, so there may be more smoke than fire here.

1. Strong Interest In OG Mike Iupati

Multiple reports have suggested the Redskins will have interest in Iupati when the free agent market opens. He is the top free agent guard this year, and new Redskins' general manager Scot McCloughan left the 49ers just before Iupati was drafted in 2010.
