In 2021, Roullier appeared in eight games for Washington, making eight starts for them at center. Pro Football Focus had him rated as the No. 5 center out of 38 qualifying players. 

Forrest, 22, was a fifth-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft out of Cincinnati. He’s in the first year of a four-year, $3,791,072 rookie contract and is set to earn a base salary of $660,000 this season.
