The 2000 Washington Redskins season began with the team trying to improve on their 10–6 record from 1999. However, they went 8-8 and missed the playoffs.
Norv Turner, in his sixth season as the Redskins head coach was fired the day after Week 14, in which they went 7-6. He was replaced by Terry Robiskie for the final two games.
The off-season dominated when owner Daniel Syner acquired veteran free agents Bruce Smith, Deion Sanders and Mark Carrier. Smith would remain with the Redskins until 2003 while both Carrier and Sanders left the team at the end of the season.
The season is notable for the Redskins drafting future Pro Bowlers Lavar Arrington and Chris Samuels with the second and third overall picks respectively in the first round of the 2000 NFL Draft.
