"Washington got better on paper in several areas, especially on the defensive side of the ball. The offense is younger, at the very least, with Chig Okonkwo replacing Zach Ertz as TE1 and Rachaad White stepping into the Austin Ekeler role. The Commanders could still use some help at wide receiver, but veterans Brandon Aiyuk and Stefon Diggs have both been touted as possibilities."
"This unit is set to return four of five starters, including the surprise re-signing of starting left guard Chris Paul. But the fifth is where the Commanders screwed up, and they'd better hope it doesn't bite them. Commanders striking out on Tyler Linderbaum could derail an otherwise positive offseason."
"They inexplicably released Tyler Biadasz prior to the start of free agency, hoping to splurge on an upgrade. It never came. The Commanders struck out on Tyler Linderbaum. Now, they're stuck with Nick Allegretti or Day 3 draft pick Matt Gulbin as their options."
""Why didn't Adam Peters just pay the extra $3 or $4 million and beat out the Raiders' offer on Tyler Linderbaum? That's one where you don't want to crazily overpay the market, but if you're going to do it, do it for a great player.""
Washington’s free agency added youth, quickness, and energy, with defensive improvements and an offense that looks younger at key positions. Chig Okonkwo is set to replace Zach Ertz as TE1, and Rachaad White is expected to step into the Austin Ekeler role. The team still needs wide receiver help, with Brandon Aiyuk and Stefon Diggs discussed as potential targets. The offensive line returns four of five starters, including a re-signing of left guard Chris Paul. The center position is the concern after Tyler Biadasz was released and Tyler Linderbaum was not signed, leaving Nick Allegretti or a Day 3 draft pick, Matt Gulbin, as options.
