Episode 845: Commanders Free Agency Moves: Deatrich Wise Jr., Treylon Burks & Paul and Deebo Gone?

2 hours ago

The Washington Commanders are making major roster decisions ahead of NFL Free Agency, bringing back key contributors while also creating salary cap flexibility and reshaping the roster.

Washington recently re-signed WR Treylon Burks, DE Drake Jackson, DE Deatrich Wise Jr., K Jake Moody, and punter Tress Way, while also extending offensive linemen Nick Allegretti and Andrew Wylie to two-year deals as the team works to maintain depth and stability across the roster.

One of the key moves is the two-year extension for Nick Allegretti, keeping the versatile offensive lineman in Washington through the 2027 season. Allegretti stepped into multiple roles along the offensive line last season, including center late in the year when injuries impacted the unit.

At the same time, the Commanders are making notable roster changes to prepare for free agency and improve financial flexibility.

Key developments this offseason include:

• Center Tyler Biadasz being released, creating additional salary cap space and potentially opening a need at the center position.

• Cornerback Marshon Lattimore expected to be released, a move that could free significant cap space as Washington reshapes its defense.

• Wide receiver Deebo Samuel not expected to return in 2026, which may lead the Commanders to pursue additional wide receiver depth during free agency or the NFL Draft.

• The future of offensive lineman Chris Paul remains uncertain as the team evaluates its options along the offensive line.

These moves signal that GM Adam Peters and head coach Dan Quinn are continuing to reshape the roster as they build around quarterback Jayden Daniels and prepare for what could be an aggressive 2026 NFL free agency period. 🎙️

Join Wole on the Urban Sports Scene podcast as he breaks down:

• The Commanders’ latest re-signings and contract extensions

• Major roster changes heading into free agency

• How these moves impact the Commanders’ roster for the 2026 season

• Key positions Washington may address next
