The Washington Commanders drafted wide receiver Luke McCaffrey this April and added veterans Olamide Zaccheus and Damiere Byrd, and undrafted free agent Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint is a sleeper to make the roster.
"The Washington Commanders have the second-most cap space with $43.4 million. They can allocate a chunk of that cap space to Higgins' new contract with the intent to do everything possible to help Jayden Daniels get off to a quick career start," Moton says. "Washington can afford to be aggressive in acquiring playmakers while Daniels is on a rookie deal."
The thing is, Commanders general manager Adam Peters has said several times he and the team plan to build through the NFL Draft while supplementing the roster through free agency and other moves to bring in talented veterans.
