Along with the majority of us, the Washington Commanders watched in disbelief as the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers progressed to the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs on Sunday, while the Dallas Cowboys and Los Angeles Rams were eliminated.
We’re looking at all four teams and one player the Commanders could target in free agency this offseason, just like we did for the slate of games on Saturday.
These are four players whose contracts are about to expire whom Washington may try to sign this offseason.
Savage grew up in the area and played collegiately as a member of the Maryland Terrapins football program.
Since joining the NFL as a 1st Round pick in the 2019 draft Savage has never made a Pro Bowl but has started 10 or more games in each of his five seasons.
On Sunday Savage came up with a key interception against Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott which he returned for a touchdown.
The play was one many considered the proverbial nail in the coffin despite the fact it came before halftime.
DALLAS COWBOYS: TONY POLLARD, RUNNING BACK
There are those who will never support a member of this roster joining the Commanders, but there are even more Cowboys fans who would hate to see Pollard jump to the other side of this rivalry.
Gone are the days when NFL teams can rely on just one running back to carry the full workload so Pollard should enter free agency looking for an opportunity to combine with another ball-carrier who compliments his own talents well.
Brian Robinson Jr. is a player many who watched Washington this season thought should get more work, but not so much that he gets run into the ground either.
If the Commanders don’t bring back Antonio Gibson, Pollard is another Memphis Tigers product the team could use as a compliment to Robinson Jr.
