The Washington Commanders are not expected to use the franchise tag on any players this offseason, and Chris Russell explains why the team should take lessons from last year to prioritize building depth, particularly at the edge position. Rather than chasing a high-priced star in a costly free-agent market, Russell emphasizes that focusing on multiple depth pieces could provide more value and long-term stability for the roster. He breaks down specific edge targets the Commanders could realistically pursue in free agency, highlighting how a depth-driven approach allows the team to strengthen its defense, manage the salary cap effectively, and avoid repeating mistakes from previous seasons.
