Commanders Re-sign Deatrich Wise, Boosting Defense

0:00On March 9th, the Washington commanders had a tough 2025 season with just five wins. They hold only two picks in the first four rounds of the 2026 NFL Draft. Still, they have plenty of cash for free agency, and league insiders expect them to make bold moves. Jaden Daniels heads into year three of his rookie deal, so the team wants to seize this window. Before free agency heats up, they have resigned some of their own players to build depth. One key move was bringing back veteran defensive lineman Dietrich Wise Jr. on a one-year contract. He got hurt in week two last season and missed most of the year, but the Super Bowl champ is recovering well. Fans did not mind the deal much, and it earned high marks as a smart rotation option. Wise brings leadership for the new defensive scheme, even if he is not a full-time starter. With these steps in place, the commanders are setting up for a stronger push amid the off-season shake-up.
