NFL teams were required to cut their rosters down to 53 players today. The Washington Commanders cut 36 players and moved Sam Cosmi to the Reserve/PUP list to form their initial 53-man roster, but they are not done making changes to the roster.
Teams will be able to form 16 player practice squads tomorrow after 12pm. Waiver claims will be processed until 12pm, and any players claimed have to be signed to that team’s roster. The Commanders can have a 17th practice squad member by signing DE TJ Maguranyanga who was the team’s International Player Pathway program player.

The Washington Commanders have been gauging trade interest from multiple teams in CB Noah Igbinoghene according to the Athletic’s Dianna Russini. He’s a former first round pick who was signed by Washington last offseason, and re-signed to another one-year deal this year. He was brought into a CB room that featured Emmanuel Forbes and Benjamin St-Juste, and earned playing time alongside rookie Mike Sainristil. He played 76% of the snaps on defense last season, and 13% of the special teams snaps.
Washington has been re-working the secondary since GM Adam Peters and HC Dan Quinn took over the team last...

The preseason is over and the Washington Commanders now shift their focus completely to the regular season opener against the New York Giants. The NFL loves to put division games at the beginning and end of seasons, and the NFL season opener on Thursday night features the other two teams from the NFC, with the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles hosting the Dallas Cowboys.
The NFC East has some of the oldest rivalries in the NFL, going back to the early days of the league. They also have the unique distinction of not having had a repeat division champion since...

The real money on McLaurin’s new deal won’t be known until the three-year extension is filed with the league and the total guarantees and true breakdown are known. For now, the headline is that McLaurin received a nice per-year average number, and the total contract is worth “up to” $96 million over three years, according to sources.
It could be discovered in the next few days that the team got the deal it wanted. So, saying which side won or lost in this situation...

Welcome back for another round of fantasy football ramblings. In today’s edition: Pre-Draft Round Up. This article will use Fantasy Pros data for its discussion of “consensus” rankings and ESPN live draft trends for estimations of actual draft price. Don’t confuse it for a comprehensive guide, but this should be sufficient to at least show up to draft day not completely out of the loop.
As always, a format note upfront: while that is good enough as a proxy for discussion of general trends in 2025 drafts, you should be savvy about reviewing whatever data is available for whatever site...

The Washington Commanders have to trim their roster down to 53 players by 4 pm today. The roster cuts will start before then, and many of those players will be signed to the team’s 17-man practice squad. Every team has to trim down from 90 or 91 players,
Practice squads were limited to 10 players in 2019, but that was set to change with the new CBA signed in 2020. The number was going to 12 players for 2 years, and then was going to be increased to 14 players in 2022. That all changed when...

A few weeks ago, I put out my initial 53-man roster prediction. My final has changed a bit since then. These last two preseason games helped finalize my decisions.
What I really like about this potential roster is the versatility. In the backfield we have three very different types of running backs. Our wide receiver room has many different body types and players who can line up all over the formation – including the backfield. Offensive line boasts guys who can slot in at multiple positions, and our tight ends have some very good blockers and guys excellent at finding...
