Why the Washington Commanders Could Be Facing Their Toughest Season Yet: 8 Unexpected Challenges Ahead

Washington’s offseason acquisitions of WR Deebo Samuel and LT Laremy Tunsil don’t move the needle. Samuel is a physical ball-carrier with a lot of miles on his legs, and the Niners trading him suggests Deebo is past his prime. Tunsil is still a good blocker, but he led tackles in penalties last season, and the rest of the Commanders’ offensive line sucks. 

For whatever reason, their front office hasn’t offered Pro Bowl WR Terry McLaurin a contract extension at the time of writing,  and he has requested a trade. While I’m sure Washington and McLaurin will ultimately agree to a new contract, this unnecessary turmoil is alarming. The Commanders should be spending like crazy while Daniels is under his rookie contract, not penny-pinching.
