"The Commanders are adding someone with the size and length to potentially impact the rotation. On his best day, the Colorado product is a solid player, but his concerning injury history will be closely watched by fans."
"There is no doubt Witherspoon could have been so much more had health problems not dented his progress. He's played just one full season in 2023, and he's missed considerable time in almost every other campaign."
"This might be nothing more than an insurance policy to provide extra competition for places. And who knows, he might be able to log meaningful reps with a little bit of better luck along the way."
The Washington Commanders have signed veteran cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon to a one-year deal, marking their 14th signing of the offseason. General manager Adam Peters is focused on improving the roster ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft. Witherspoon, who has a history with Peters from their time in San Francisco, brings size and potential impact to the team. However, his injury history raises concerns, as he has only played one full season. This signing may serve as an insurance policy while the team considers drafting additional cornerback talent.
