5. WR Andre Roberts

Injuries hampered Roberts this year, including a knee injury that ended his season in December. But a team that could use another viable weapon surely expected more from Roberts over the last two seasons, with just 47 receptions in 25 games. And with a $4 million base salary over the next two years, Roberts is sure to be an offseason cut for the Redskins.

4. LB Perry Riley

After posting at least 93 total tackles (over 100 twice) in each of the previous three seasons, injuries limited Riley to nine games this season and he finished with just 44 total tackles. Better health should bring a rebound campaign next season, but 2015 will go down as a disappointing year for Riley.

3. RB Alfred Morris

The Redskins seemed to be looking for a way to replace Morris all season, and with him now headed for free agency, it probably wasn't a bad idea. But the former breakout star also continued to decline, averaging career lows in yards per carry (3.7) and yards after contact (1.45), so this year goes down as a disappointing campaign.

2. CB Chris Culliver

Culliver was not playing well in his first year with the Redskins, and then a torn ACL and MCL in his right knee ended his season for good in November. Washington may want their initial investment (four years, $32 million) back at this point, since Culliver has to be considered very questionable for the start of next season.

1. WR DeSean Jackson

Jackson missed six games early in the season with a lingering hamstring issue, and he sat out Week 17 with a knee issue. In the nine regular season games he played he topped 100 yards just once, with five or more catches three times, so Jackson was not the No. 1 wide receiver Washington needed this season.
