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

1. Quinton Dunbar

What do you know? Another cornerback.

Quinton Dunbar has actually been out of the league for a year after he and former Giants cornerback DeAndre Baker were arrested for allegedly stealing money and jewelry while brandishing semi-automatic weapons at a party. The arrest warrant claimed Baker threatened victims with a firearm.

A former Washington undrafted free agent, Dunbar was promptly placed on the Commissioner’s exempt list. Ultimately, charges weren’t pressed against Dunbar due to a lack of evidence and he came off the list, clearing him to return to football.

Washington flipped Dunbar for a fifth-round pick in a trade with the Seahawks in March of 2020. The former Florida Gator performed well for Washington in 2019 before the trade, starting 11 games and producing four interceptions, eight passes defended and a 89.5 coverage grade from PFF that ranked second only to Richard Sherman among all cornerbacks.

In total, Dunbar was with Washington for five seasons. During that span, he started just nine of his 25 appearances and compiled nine interceptions, 35 passes defended and a combined 71.24 coverage grade from PFF.

Dunbar spent most of the 2020 season on the Commissioner’s exempt list and the Seahawks predictably didn’t re-sign him. He landed on his feet with the Lions that offseason, but got released during the preseason after missing most of training camp due to “personal reasons.”

The 29-year-old managed to make a few practice squads, but didn’t get elevated for a single game. As we sit here today, the former stable presence in Washington’s secondary is still looking for a new NFL home.
