On March 20th, the Washington Commanders made waves in free agency by signing a dozen new players, mostly young talents, with big upside. Among them, Titan Chagosium O'Conquo stands out as the potential star of the group after landing a three-year deal, or $30 million. This move edges out even their priciest addition, Edge rusher Odafe OA, at $25 million per year. O'Conquo comes over from the Titans, where he showed flashes despite shaky quarterback play and messy offenses. Team insiders are buzzing about his fit, with quarterback Jaden Daniels. They predict a breakout season, maybe 65-70 catches, turning him into one of the league's top tight-ends at just 25 years. Old, and four seasons with Tennessee, O'Conquo racked up just over 2,000 receiving yards and eight touchdowns because he rarely got the ball. Now, Daniels loves targeting Titans, and O'Conquo's speed and yards after catchability, should make him a third-down weapon over slower options.

Like Zachards. With little competition at his position, and a chance to dominate snaps, O'Conquo has everything lined up for a pro-bowl push in Washington.
