After staying relatively quiet during the first two days of the legal tampering period, the Washington Commanders were busy Wednesday, only hours before the new NFL league year began.
Washington surprisingly released longtime defensive tackle Matt Ioannidis and, shortly after, also starting left guard Ereck Flowers. The release of Flowers was a bigger surprise. The Commanders had already lost starting right guard Brandon Scherff to free agency. Now, Washington would be without both of its starting guards from 2021. One could argue that Flowers and Scherff were among the best pair of guards in the NFL in 2021.
