Some believed the Washington Commanders would release tight end Logan Thomas in the offseason to create additional salary cap space. After all, Thomas had missed a combined 14 games over the past two seasons with multiple injuries and had just 57 catches since 2020.
The Commanders viewed Thomas differently than most. Washington knew what a healthy Thomas could bring to the table. Now 32, Thomas tore his ACL in Dec. 2021 but recovered in time to play in Week 1 last season. But Thomas was never fully healthy. Sure, his knee was sound, but he hadn’t regained his explosiveness from before the injury.
