Three Positions for Washington Commanders to Still Address

After a flurry of moves through the first week after the legal tampering then free agency window opened, the Washington Commanders still have a handful of needs they can address. But after filling some holes, which positions should still get attention this offseason? We dive into three positions that still have unanswered questions.

WR2

Washington was expected to be an aggressive player here ahead of free agency, but it didn't materialize into anything after Alec Pierce elected to re-sign with the Indianapolis Colts and Romeo Doubs signing with the New England Patriots. In both cases, Washington finished as the runner-up. Washington did make a pair of moves at the position by bringing back Dyami Brown and signing Van Jefferson to one year deals, but the need for a true WR2 remains. There's also a talent gap in available wide receivers after those two with Jauan Jennings headlining the list of players still looking for a home in 2026. Veteran Stefon Diggs is also still available where he could fit, but his ongoing legal issues could prevent the electric receiver from finding a new team any time soon. Of course, the longtime expected solution has included Brandon Aiyuk, but that may be on hold for a while. In fact, a long after Mike Ginnitti of Spotrac said on The Team 980 on Thursday that the 49ers could wait until June 2 to release Aiyuk. Until it happens, wide receiver remains maybe the biggest question mark for the Commanders with veteran Terry McLaurin anchoring the unit. Whether Washington addresses the position in the NFL Draft is also its own question mark with Carnell Tate drawing continued buzz as a realistic pick for the Commanders.

Center

The offensive line has almost been addressed. The Laremy Tunsil storyline ended early in the offseason after inking the star left tackle to a two-year extension, while the return of Chris Paul on a one year contract eliminates the need at left guard. The only one that remains is who will anchor the unit after the front office opted to release Tyler Biadasz after two seasons as the starter. Washington was reportedly on the shortlist for former Ravens center Tyler Linderbaum before resetting the market at his position by inking with the Las Vegas Raiders, while former Titans center Lloyd Cushenberry was briefly linked to the Commanders after his release. But still, no moves have been made midway through March. Washington does have Nick Allegretti on next year's roster as the only player with center experience, but will that materialize into him as the full-time starter in 2026? And if Allegretti is the eventual starter, what does depth look like? An important question for new offensive line coach Darnell Stapleton to answer ahead of team workouts.

Cornerback

Another position where Washington has already made a move, the signing of former Lions cornerback Amik Robertson adds to the starting rotation where he can step back in as the starting nickel cornerback with a chance for both Trey Amos and Mike Sainristil to take over on the outside. But that may not be enough, whether starting or depth, after Sainristil struggled in 2025. Several top options have already signed elsewhere with Jaylen Watson reuniting with Trent McDuffie on the Rams while James Dean made the trip north to sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Will reinforcements come? Mansoor Delane out of LSU certainly fits the bill as the DMV native has drawn buzz as a top draft pick with his own case as the first cornerback to come off the board, but it remains a weakness in a revamped Washington defense.
