Commanders could quietly solve glaring concern by trading for Super Bowl champion

Washington created a avoidable problem by not releasing starting center Tyler Biadasz, leaving the team with a massive gamble for next season. General manager Adam Peters kept his reasons in-house, while the roster plan remains fluid. Nick Allegretti received an early extension and is positioned to compete for the starting role. Matt Gulbin was drafted in the sixth round and has college production, but immediate starting expectations appear unrealistic. Head coach Dan Quinn also wants to evaluate Brandon Coleman in an offensive line anchor role. If additional help is needed, Peters could make moves given the stakes. Trade interest may also involve center Olu Oluwatimi, who is in the final year of his deal with Seattle and has lost the starting job to Jalen Sundell.

"The Washington Commanders created a problem that could have been avoided by releasing starting center Tyler Biadasz. General manager Adam Peters had his reasons, which are being kept in-house, but it does not hide the fact that this is a massive gamble that could go either way."

"Washington seems comfortable with the options available. Nick Allegretti received an early extension rather than being released, putting him in pole position for the role. The Commanders also drafted Matt Gulbin in the sixth round. He's got some impressive college production under his belt at Michigan State, but asking him to immediately jump into a starting role seems unrealistic."

"It's a fluid situation, and head coach Dan Quinn also wants to see what Brandon Coleman can do from the offensive line anchor role. But if Peters decides more is required, he won't hesitate to make the moves needed with so much at stake next season."

""One potential trade candidate to watch this summer will be center Oluwatimi. The 2023 fifth-round pick is entering the final year of his rookie contract and is slated to again back up Jalen Sundell, who beat him out for the job last summer." "The Seahawks don't seem determined to move Oluwatimi, who has obvious value to them as an experienced depth piece with 13 starts in three seasons. But if they believe Sundell is their long-term center, trading Oluwatimi would guarantee they get something for him.""
