"You gotta get away from the older guys. You gotta get away from the high price guys. You gotta get guys that will grow and develop alongside Jayden Daniels."
"The NFL Draft is notorious for being littered with landmines of old and high-priced players. Remember when the Cleveland Browns picked 28-year-old Brandon Weeden in the first round?"
"Last year, No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward signed a rookie contract worth $48.7 million over the course of four years. The No. 7 pick was offensive tackle Armand Membou, who signed with the New York Jets for just under $8 million per year."
"The Commanders didn't sign a single newcomer over 30. Beyond edge rusher Odafe Oweh, they didn't break the bank for anyone; instead, they wisely spread their money."
The Washington Commanders are focusing on the 2026 NFL Draft, with a need for a wide receiver opposite Terry McLaurin. They may also consider linebacker or safety help, and possibly running back Jeremiyah Love. An NFL insider emphasizes the importance of avoiding older, expensive players, advocating for selections that will grow alongside quarterback Jayden Daniels. The Commanders successfully avoided signing newcomers over 30 during free agency, indicating a strategy to build a younger team.
