4 recent Commanders departures who could win a Super Bowl in 2022

2. Morgan Moses (Ravens)

Moses was a beloved player in Washington before he got released in May of last offseason after the team granted him permission to seek a trade. The move saved $7.75 million against the cap and counted for just $1.9 million in dead money.

Of course, the decision to release Moses, who started every game at right tackle for Washington from 2015-20, came after the Commanders drafted Sam Cosmi in the second round that April and signed Charles Leno a week earlier in free agency. Those moves left Moses in limbo and he was handed the axe as a result.

Moses eventually signed with the Jets, with whom he started 16 of 17 games and produced a respectable 71.0 player grade from Pro Football Focus after he allowed just four sacks and committed three penalties over 1,022 snaps.

The 31-year-old was part of a needed rebuild of New York’s offensive line, but now he’s positioned to compete for a Super Bowl for the first time in his career after he signed a three-year, $15 million contract with the Ravens.

Baltimore had its injury woes last season, but it retooled in a big way this offseason, landing standout safety Marcus Williams and defensive tackle Michael Pierce in free agency before adding Kyle Hamilton, Tyler Linderbaum and Travis Jones through the draft to add to what was already a stacked roster.

Following these moves, the Ravens have firmly entrenched themselves into the championship conversation, though we’d feel better about their (and Moses’) chances if they gave Lamar Jackson a true No. 1 receiver to throw to.
