Players the Washington Commanders could pursue after roster deadline
Key Points:
- NFL teams finalized their 53-man rosters after preseason, with players having fewer than four accrued seasons subject to waivers, while veterans become free agents immediately.
- The Washington Commanders face key roster needs, especially at center and guard positions, following cuts; they hold the seventh waiver priority and may seek experienced or high-upside players like Lucas Patrick or Nick Dawkins to bolster the offensive line.
- Depth concerns at tackle and cornerback persist, with potential waiver pickups including Gerad Christian-Lichtenhan and Roger Longerbeam, while veteran cornerback Kenny Moore II remains a free agent option to add experience.
- Linebacker Junior Colson, a former third-round draft pick recovering from injuries, could be an intriguing waiver addition to provide depth and development potential for the Commanders.
- General Manager Adam Peters and Coach Dan Quinn continue to shape the roster amid challenges, balancing immediate needs with player development as quarterback Jayden Daniels enters a pivotal third season.
