5 former Commanders who still need a team for the 2022 season

2. Fabian Moreau

A former third-round pick by Washington in 2017, Fabian Moreau is still braving free agency after he put together his best season to date last year. Moreau’s 16 starts and 95 percent snap share were both career-highs, as were his 61 tackles, three tackles for loss and 11 passes defended.

The UCLA product wasn’t exceptional in coverage, but playing opposite AJ Terrell, an ascending superstar at the cornerback position, saw quarterbacks look his direction more than most No. 2 corners. Per PFF, Moreau was targeted 76 times and allowed 10.5 yards per reception and a 65.6 percent completion rate.

Not bad output for someone who saw inconsistent playing time over his four years with Washington. You’d think the Falcons would want him back, but they managed to attract former Pro Bowler Casey Hayward to the tune of a two-year, $11 million contract in free agency.

It’s likely Hayward will replace Moreau as Terrell’s running mate and serve as a mentor to second-year CBs Avery Williams and Darren Hall.

That leaves Moreau without a security blanket in free agency. While Washington could use reinforcements in their secondary, a reunion is unlikely, especially after the club re-signed Danny Johnson to a one-year deal.
