"The Washington Commanders' offense will look a lot different in 2026 with David Blough taking over coordinator duties, and not just scheme-wise. As is always the case when there are coaching staff changes, new coordinators want to bring in players with whom they've already developed chemistry. Under Blough, the Commanders should expect to target some former Detroit Lions in free agency this spring."
""Raymond still offers value as a versatile wide receiver that can play the X, Y, and slot roles in Ben Johnson's offense and be a plus in the return game. Raymond is not the WR2 Washington's offense desperately needs, but with a projected one-year salary of $3.45 million, the veteran wide receiver would offer a cheap replacement for Deebo Samuel and a safe floor if Jaylin Lane fails to take the next step.""
Washington's offense will change in 2026 under David Blough, who may recruit former Detroit players he knows. Kalif Raymond is a nine-year NFL veteran who spent four seasons with the Lions and combines quickness with versatility as an X, Y, and slot option. Raymond earned second-team All-Pro honors as a punt returner in 2022 and will be a free agent this summer. A projected one-year salary near $3.45 million makes him an affordable depth option or possible replacement if Deebo Samuel departs. Raymond likely would not handle punt returns in Washington due to Jaylin Lane's strong rookie season, and he will be 32 in 2026, a factor for roster planning.
