"It's no secret that the Washington Commanders need help on the defensive edge this offseason. Fans were deeply concerned about this position group before the campaign, and despite general manager Adam Peters holding a different opinion, they were right. Injuries exposed the Commanders' glaring lack of edge-rushing depth. Generating pressure has been difficult throughout the campaign, especially after breakout star Dorance Armstrong Jr. got hurt."
"Trey Hendrickson could be the best of the bunch. The All-Pro defensive end got a new deal from the Cincinnati Bengals after a lengthy standoff, but it didn't come with any added years. He'll be a free agent next spring, and a notable development might indicate he's played his last snap for the AFC North club. Adam Schefter of ESPN revealed that Hendrickson is set to undergo surgery to resolve a lingering problem dating back weeks."
The Washington Commanders entered the offseason with a clear deficiency at the defensive edge, and injuries during the campaign exposed a lack of edge-rushing depth. Generating consistent pressure proved difficult, particularly after breakout Dorance Armstrong Jr. suffered an injury. The team could secure a top-five draft pick, putting prospects such as Rueben Bain Jr. or David Bailey in contention. The Commanders project more than $100 million in salary-cap space to pursue veteran pass rushers in free agency. Trey Hendrickson represents an appealing target after receiving a short-term deal from Cincinnati and now planning core muscle surgery. The surgery should place Hendrickson on a path to health before free agency.
