Things have simmered down on the Washington Commanders' recruitment front. It was a frenzied first wave of free agency, with general manager Adam Peters bringing in a dozen new faces while also re-signing some key depth pieces. But this is the stage where potential bargains can be identified and calculated risks taken.
That brings one intriguing option into focus. There are risks attached, but the rewards could be substantial if it comes off.
The Commanders still need more in their cornerback room. Marshon Lattimore was released as expected. Noah Igbinoghene joined the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks, and Jonathan Jones crossed enemy lines to the Philadelphia Eagles.
