"Washington Commanders fans won't have to wait much longer before general manager Adam Peters' big recruitment plans are revealed. The team is expected to make wholesale changes to the playing personnel after a five-win campaign. Before then, those in power must decide on the futures of veterans about to come off the books. The Commanders have the most pending free agents anywhere in the league."
"Andrew Wylie was a marquee addition to the Commanders in 2023 free agency. The two-time Super Bowl winner with the Kansas City Chiefs decided to link back up with then-offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy in Washington, but after spending his first two seasons as the starting right tackle, he got demoted entering the final year of his deal. The Commanders traded for left tackle Laremy Tunsil."
"Wylie was left as a backup, but it didn't last for long. Nick Allegretti's transition to the right guard position went horribly, and he was benched after just two games. The Eastern Michigan product slotted in next to Conerly at the interior position and performed relatively well in difficult circumstances. This was always going to be temporary. When Sam Cosmi returned to health after a torn ACL, Wylie was relegated to a reserve role once again."
The Washington Commanders face a major roster overhaul after a five-win season and currently have the most pending free agents in the league. General manager Adam Peters prioritized one-year contracts to preserve financial flexibility while pursuing a win-now approach. Several veterans' futures must be decided, with Andrew Wylie appearing unlikely to remain. Wylie joined in 2023, started at right tackle for two seasons, then was demoted after the team added Laremy Tunsil and drafted Josh Conerly Jr. He briefly returned to play amid injuries but was again relegated when Sam Cosmi returned to health, pointing toward free agency departure.
