"The Commanders will bring in Bourne on Tuesday, and they've also reportedly sorted out the contractual aspect ahead of time so that he can get involved immediately. They aren't alone, with the San Francisco 49ers also scheduling a visit with the pass-catcher on Monday. Washington is arguably a more attractive destination for Bourne, although getting the chance to rejoin the team that took a chance on him as an undrafted free agent will be tempting."
"McCaffrey flashed promise once again this summer without quite having the consistency needed. The No. 100 overall selection in the 2024 NFL Draft is still a work in progress. He also seems lower down the pecking order than ever, at least from the outside looking in. Terry McLaurin, Deebo Samuel Sr., and Noah Brown are the projected starting trio. Rookie fourth-rounder Jaylin Lane's seamless transition this summer hints that a bigger role than expected could be in his immediate future."
The Commanders invited Kendrick Bourne for a visit and pre-arranged contractual details to allow immediate involvement after his Patriots release, with the 49ers also scheduling a meeting. Washington presents an attractive opportunity given familiarity with personnel executives. Luke McCaffrey showed flashes this summer but lacks consistent play and remains a developmental player after being the No. 100 pick in 2024. The projected starting receivers are Terry McLaurin, Deebo Samuel Sr., and Noah Brown, while rookie Jaylin Lane may earn a larger role. Adding Bourne could demote McCaffrey to a sixth option, limiting his offensive snaps and highlighting special teams as his primary contribution.
