The NFL’s worst-kept entering the offseason was the Washington Commanders were in the quarterback business. Head coach Ron Rivera told anyone who would listen Washington was adding a quarterback, preferably a veteran, but would not hesitate in starting a first-round rookie if he was ready.
Earlier this month, the Commanders ended their quarterback search, trading draft picks to the Indianapolis Colts for Carson Wentz. The Wentz trade has been criticized around the NFL, but for Washington, this was about upgrading the position in 2022. Wentz provides a clear upgrade for Washington from the past three seasons.
