When Dan Quinn took over as head coach of the Washington Commanders, one of the units he pointed out as being a strength was the wide receivers.  He said it was tough to gameplan against them.  But Curtis Samuel is a UFA.  What does this mean for the position group?

Michael Pittman, Jr is a big receiver who is a UFA after spending the last 4 seasons with the Indianapolis Colts.  We break down the plusses and minuses of the Commanders signing him this offseason.

The Commanders traded away their only two legitimate edge rushers during the season in Montez Sweat and Chase Young.  The rest of their defensive ends do not have contracts heading into the offseason.

Finding an edge rusher will be a priority and there are some good ones available in free agency.  One of them is Carolina’s Brian Burns.  What would it take to get him and should Washington be interested?

Our first player is Cowboys offensive lineman Tyron Smith.  Smith is a 5x All Pro who is 33 years old and has missed significant time over the last 4 years.  However, because of his age he shouldn’t command a high salary.  You will also be taking away from a divisional rival.
