The Washington Commanders should keep an eye on the wide receiver market throughout this free agency round. Terry McLaurin and Jahan Dotson are currently the team’s top picks on the depth chart, but the positions below them need to be addressed, either through the draft or free agency.
The commanders should be searching for receivers during the summer because Curtis Samuel is a member of this year’s free agency class and Dyami Brown isn’t nearly ready to start for the offence. Buffalo Bills receiver Gabe Davis, a free agent who has caught passes from Josh Allen for the previous four years, is someone who Washington may be keeping an eye on.
Frustrated Bills supporters, who never saw Davis turn into the Stefon Diggs sidekick they’d anticipated he’d be, have made public notice of Davis’s troubles. Although drops have played a significant role in Buffalo’s decision to let go of Davis, he still has six touchdown catches or more in each of his four NFL seasons. During his time with the Bills, Davis’ greatest moment occurred two years ago in the AFC Divisional Round when he grabbed four touchdowns in a losing game against the Kansas City Chiefs. His ceiling was on display in that game, but thus far in his career, he has frequently fallen short of it.
It’s clear that the commanders could utilize more of his straight-line deep threat ability, but the squad will need him to develop into a more flexible player in order to take the risk.
