"Adam Peters will be scouring the available options, both on the veteran pool and the waiver wire, to see if there is a possibility or two that could help the Washington Commanders reach their raised expectations in 2025. And the missing piece to offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury's passing attack might just be there for the taking. The Commanders only brought five wide receivers onto their initial 53-man roster."
"It's a gamble, but examining Malachi Corley's credentials in greater detail could be something to consider. The New York Jets coveted the versatile wideout heavily during the 2024 NFL Draft, but he didn't even make it to a second season. Those who believed in him so much were long gone, and he couldn't impress the new regime enough to stick around."
"Corley is a significant threat after the catch. The Western Kentucky product drew comparisons to Samuel throughout his pre-draft assessments, but it hasn't come together as yet. Everyone thought a change of scenery in a scheme more suited to his strengths would be beneficial. Now, he gets that chance. Kingsbury's system could maximize Corley's athletic attributes much more effectively if this scenario came to fruition."
Adam Peters is exploring veteran and waiver-wire options to add talent that could help the Washington Commanders meet higher expectations in 2025. The roster currently lists five wide receivers: Terry McLaurin, Deebo Samuel Sr., Noah Brown, rookie Jaylin Lane, and Luke McCaffrey. Peters may pursue one more receiver and could return undrafted Ja'Corey Brooks to the practice squad if he clears waivers. Malachi Corley, released by the New York Jets, presents a candidate due to his after-the-catch ability and prior comparisons to Deebo Samuel. Kliff Kingsbury's scheme could better leverage Corley's athleticism if Washington claims him.
