Pro Football Rumors
The Commanders recently hosted George Fant on a free agent visit, but he is not the only veteran offensive tackle to receive a look. Cameron Fleming headed to Washington earlier today, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Fleming has put together a journeyman career, although since 2021 he has played exclusively for the Broncos. The 32-year-old operated as a full-time starter in 2022, but for the most part in recent seasons he has operated as a backup. In all, Fleming has made 62 starts across his 118 regular season appearances.
The Stanford product was among the veterans who visited the 49ers late last month, and Garafolo notes he also worked out for the Chargers recently. Los Angeles’ tackle situation was dealt a major blow when Rashawn Slater suffered a torn patellar tendon, sidelining him for the 2025 season. Joe Alt will take on left tackle duties in his absence, but the Bolts could stand to add veteran depth behind him.
The Commanders are likewise in the market for experience at the position, as demonstrated by the decision to host Fant. Washington swung a trade to acquire Laremy Tunsil this offseason, setting up the five-time Pro Bowler to operate as the team’s left tackle in 2025. The starting right tackle gig will be decided by the outcome of the ongoing competition between incumbent Andrew Wylie and first-round rookie Josh Conerly Jr. Further depth could still be added ahead of the regular season, though.
Washington currently has nearly $17MM in cap space. The Chargers, meanwhile, have $31.5MM in available funds, so finances will not be an issue if either team proceeds with a Fleming signing in time for final roster cuts at the end of the month.
