After trading for quarterback Carson Wentz last offseason, the Washington Commanders had a different approach to the quarterback position this offseason. Washington jettisoned Wentz after one disappointing season and planned to give second-year passer Sam Howell a chance to win the starting job in 2023.
In addition to Howell, the Commanders planned to sign a mid-level veteran to compete with and push Howell. That player is Jacoby Brissett, who had an impressive season as Cleveland’s starter in place of Deshaun Watson.
