Commanders Host Veteran CB Witherspoon

0:00It's March 26th. This is NFL News today, powered by AI tracking teams, players, and standings. The Washington commanders are hosting Veteran Cornerback, a Kelo Witherspoon, for a visit this Thursday. The 31-year-old stands six foot two and weighs 215 pounds. He was a third-round pick in the 2017 draft. General manager Adam Peters knows him well from their shared time with the 49ers. Witherspoon kicked off his career in San Francisco from 2017 to 2020. He then played two seasons with the Steelers before landing with the Rams over the last three years. The commanders need more depth at Cornerback right now. Their current group features mostly young players in their early to mid-20s, many in just their first or second seasons. That lack of experience leaves them thinheading into next season. Peters has been signing short-term deals this off-season to build around youth. There's something similar here, like a one-year prove-it contract. Witherspoon brings solid value with 13 interceptions across nine NFL seasons.
