It’s still the dog days of the offseason, but with Organized Team Activities, at least there comes a little bit of news and energy to get the football blood piping through the veins again.
So here’s some roster information and fodder to keep everyone brimming with excitement.
After six years with the Washington Commanders, Chase Roullier’s time in Washington has come to an end. The Commanders announced the release of Roullier with a post-June 1 designation on Friday, allowing the team to save $8.37 million next season, with $4 million of dead money.
After being picked in the sixth round in 2017, the Wyoming product quickly became Washington’s starting center.
The Washington Commanders enter the 2023 offseason with several holes to fill. While the NFL Draft in April will fill some of those holes, Washington will look to free agency to bolster their roster. NFL free agency officially opened on March 15th, but the Commanders were making moves days before that in the legal tampering period.
This blog will be updated frequently to keep an on-going tally on the moves that Washington have made.
The league year doesn’t begin until Wednesday, but the legal tampering period started today at noon. The Commanders made a few moves and might even have been considered busy. They signed a couple of offensive linemen, a linebacker and a cornerback – which were all positions of need.
The Commanders signed offensive lineman Nick Gates from division rival New York Giants, as well as offensive tackle Andrew Wylie from the Kansas City Chiefs.
They also signed linebacker Cody Barton and claimed cornerback Cameron Dantzler off waivers.
