Washington head coach Ron Rivera told anyone who would listen the Commanders would swing big on a quarterback this offseason. This offseason, the obvious top targets for Washington and other quarterback-needy teams were Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson and Deshaun Watson.
Rodgers wasn’t interested in Washington, and it’s not known if the Commanders even made an offer for the two-time defending MVP. Earlier this week, Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said Wilson wasn’t going anywhere. Legal issues complicate Watson’s situation.
On Friday, Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reported that Washington did indeed make an offer to Seattle. And according to Rapoport, it was a “strong” offer that included multiple first-round picks, but trade talks “didn’t go anywhere.”
