8 free-agent gambles Commanders should make before the market dries up
"The Commanders have an enormous amount at stake in 2026, with head coach Dan Quinn unlikely to survive another poor campaign. And with plenty of salary-cap space remaining, most fans and figures in the media are expecting more moves in the weeks and months ahead."
"Washington brought back Antonio Hamilton Sr. recently. He played well on special teams last season and could push for the 53-man roster alongside Mike Sainristil, Trey Amos, Amik Robertson, and Ahkello Witherspoon. Even that might not be enough, so checking in on Jeff Okudah wouldn't be the worst idea in the world at this juncture."
"Okudah worked with Daronte Jones last season on the Minnesota Vikings. He may not have lived up to his top-three draft billing - primarily down to injuries - but with a clear run of good health, he could have something to offer."
Washington’s general manager has made roster improvements during a third recruitment period, but more work remains before 2026. The team has significant stakes, and head coach Dan Quinn is unlikely to survive another poor season. With salary-cap space available, additional moves are expected. The Commanders have upgraded the defensive front seven, but coverage units still need improvement. Antonio Hamilton Sr. could compete for a roster spot on special teams and alongside existing cornerbacks. Jeff Okudah is suggested as a low-risk option if he stays healthy. Yetur Gross-Matos is also proposed as Washington prepares to shift to a 3-4 base front under defensive scheme changes.
