Commanders could sign Adoree' Jackson
The Washington Commanders have high hopes surrounding their cornerback tandem of Mike Sainristil and Marshon Lattimore in 2025. With a full offseason together, this has the makings of a productive partnership providing the veteran addition via trade can get back to the form of old.
Aside from that, it's an uncertain position group. Expect general manager Adam Peters to fortify the ranks during the offseason at some stage. Whether that's in free agency or with one of the team's seven draft selections remains to be seen.
Adoree' Jackson saw his snaps plummet with the New York Giants in 2024, which was surprising. The veteran fell out of favor as another campaign spiraled into irrelevancy for Brian Daboll's squad. Even so, this represents a decent rotational piece that would relish the opportunity to challenge himself on a contender.
Jackson is decent in coverage. He might not be the dominant presence of years past, but the Commanders would be getting a veteran leader (for cheap) who excels in run support.
The Commanders could be thinking bigger. However, Peters is going to be methodical and aggressive. Finding solid pros with the right characteristics to be an asset in the locker room is just as important.
Commanders could sign Milton Williams
Arguably nobody did more to boost their bank balance in the playoffs than Milton Williams. The Philadelphia Eagles defensive lineman was a one-man wrecking crew on the interior. Couple this with the dominance of Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis on Vic Fangio's 3-4 front, it became an unstoppable trio nobody counteracted effectively.
Williams is going to be a hot commodity on the free-agent market if the Eagles let things get that far. He's gained momentum at the right time with his best football ahead. Producing the goods without Carter and Davis clogging up space will be more difficult, but the former third-round pick out of Louisiana Tech has the talent to make things happen.
The Commanders could decide to pursue Williams. That's dependent on the future of Jonathan Allen or going after someone like Osa Odighizuwa, but nothing should be ruled out entirely right now.
Whether it's with the Eagles, Commanders, or someone else, Williams is going to get paid this offseason. Projections have him in the $20 million per season range. That's money well spent if there's any additional progress as an undisputed alpha elsewhere.
Weakening a division rival just makes this more enticing from Washington's point of view.
