Commanders Cut Biadasz, Freeing Up Cap Space

0:00On March 1st, the Washington commanders made a surprise move last week by releasing their starting center, Tyler Biotis, on February 26th. The team is looking to shake things up financially ahead of free agency. A big driver behind the decision was the $8.3 million in cash. Biotis was owed this year. That money can now go towards signing new players, helping the commanders get more aggressive on the market. Biotis' on-field play wasn't at the level they needed, which made the cut easier to stomach. Meanwhile, the team is still planning to part ways with cornerback Martian Latimore, which could free up another $18.5 million. Quarterback Jaden Daniels has stayed quiet so far on the change at center. Some of those savings will cover a replacement, but the overall strategy points to bigger roster upgrades. With cap space opening up, expect the commanders to target key additions soon to boost their lineup for next season.
