The Washington Commanders have some big decisions to make over the next month. Should Washington apply the franchise tag to defensive tackle Daron Payne? Should the Commanders approach Payne and safety Kamren Curl about potential contract extensions?
These are good problems to have for Washington. Yes, the Commanders need a quarterback, they always need a quarterback, but they are apparently content going into 2023, giving Sam Howell a chance to win the job. That leaves Washington looking at a veteran backup/spot starter, such as Taylor Heinicke, Jacoby Brissett, or Andy Dalton.
