Making a Run at Linebacker Tremaine Edmunds | Washington Commanders

By Adam Aniba Buffalo Bills middle linebacker Tremaine Edmunds will be one of the hottest names when free agency kicks off in March. Although the draft will be a way for the Commanders to address positions of need, no middle linebacker in this draft class possess the type of talent that Edmunds brings to the table. The former Va Tech linebacker is a big reason why the Bills defense has had success over the last few seasons. Since being drafted 16th overall in '18, Edmunds has

Bringing Back Holcomb and What it Could Cost | Washington Commanders

By Adam Aniba Linebacker Cole Holcomb might not be the answer as Washington's starting MIKE linebacker, but at the right price he makes a lot of sense for depth purposes. Considering vets like Jon Bostic and David Mayo played significant snaps and struggled mightily after Holcomb went down, having depth is a imperative for the Commanders. Linebacker Jamin Davis is the only returning linebacker of note. Although Ron Rivera is likely to select at least one linebacker in the upc

Henry To'o To'o Provides Upside as a Coverage MLB | NFL DRAFT '23

By Adam Aniba This year's middle linebacker class features some true thumpers, but most do not excel in coverage. Alabama's Henry To'o To'o may not be a true downhill tone-setter, but might have the most upside as any coverage linebacker in this draft class.

Payne's Extension is a Priority and What It Could Cost | Washington Commanders

By Adam Aniba Heading into the offseason, Washington has numerous tasks in order to fix their roster with offensive line being at the top.

The defensive tackle registered career highs in sacks (11.5), tackles for loss (18), QB hits (20), combined tackles (64) an
