0:00On March 25th, the Washington commanders are pushing hard to upgrade their wide receiver group this offseason to support quarterback Jaden Daniels. They went after Alec Pierce and Romeo Dubs in free agency, but struck out when Pierce stayed with the Colts and Dubs joined the Patriots. Instead, General Manager Adam Peters landed Titan Chigel-Conquil from the Titans on a three-year contract that creates a strong trio at the position with Ben Synod and John Bates, adding real firepower to the passing game. They also brought in receivers Diammy Brown and Van Jefferson for some death, though both are seen as backups for now. Fans and analysts see this as a solid start, but everyone agrees Washington still needs a star wide out to take the offense to the next level. The team has ties to top draft prospects like Ohio State's Carnail Tate, Arizona State's Jordan Tyson, and USC's Mackay Lemon, all expected in the first pair. First round next month. Recently, the commanders held a private workout with the five foot eleven, one ninety-two-pound lemon, who clocked the 4.4, six second forty yard dash, and won the Beletnikoff Award last season.

1:09His lot skills draw comparisons to Detroit's Amin Ross St. Brown, fitting perfectly with new coordinator David Blue's scheme. They're also keeping tabs on San Francisco's Brandon Ayuk if he hits the market. With free agency winding down and the draft approaching, expect Peters to keep hunting for that game changer to boost Daniels and the attack.
