When the Washington Commanders opened up the legal tampering period last week, they quickly targeted the offensive line. First, Washington agreed to terms with former New York Giant Nick Gates. Shortly thereafter, the Commanders agreed to a deal with former Kansas City Chief Andrew Wylie.
Thanks partly to Washington’s long-term deal with defensive tackle Daron Payne last Sunday, the Commanders freed up extra cap space for 2023. Instead of Payne playing on the franchise tag for almost $19 million, he’d only cost around $10 million next season.
