Who would have thought that the Washington Commanders could beat a powerhouse like the Lions this season? The Commanders made their mark as the underdogs of the 2024 season, just as the Chiefs‘ failure to make a three-peat and the Eagles‘ victory over them became memorable moments. And now they are busy with their offseason shenanigans. But it looks like one of Jayden Daniels‘ teammates has hit the free agency. And it turns out that plenty of other teams are eyeing Jayden’s key weapon. There are some talks about CB Marshon Lattimore too, but we’ll get to that later.

So, who is this player on the ‘wanted’ list of other franchises? Well, it’s WR Dyami Brown. His four-year rookie contract with the Commanders ended with the 2024 season, making him an impending free agent. The Commanders picked him in the 2021 NFL Draft. Now that his $4.94 million contract is up, it’s time for either contract extension talks or finding a new home. And the rumor is that Dyami’s name has already been linked to several teams. The ones that have popped up so far are the Panthers, Texans, and Patriots.

An alum of North Carolina, Brown’s stats this season don’t fall into the ‘elite’ category. The 25-year-old has recorded 30 receptions while racking up 308 yards in the regular season. He has a single TD to his name. Dyami’s playoff performances were solid. The young WR recorded five receptions, racking up 89 receiving yards. He helped his team seal the win with a TD against the Bucs in the Wild Card round. After that, it was time for the Divisional Round, where the Commanders faced a team that had been roaring all season -the Lions. Brown recorded six receptions for 98 yards in the divisional win over Jared Goff and Co.

So, while the Commanders have to decide on Dyami Brown’s future, there are also talks about CB Marshon Lattimore‘s future.

Commanders to cut Marshon Lattimore?

“He’s a really good player, but his persona comes off like ‘I’m finna bully you’… He’s talking, doing weird stuff after the play, trying to shove you after the play, he’s trying to get in your head.” That’s what Eagles WR A.J. Brown said about Marshon Lattimore. Brown faced Lattimore in the conference championship after the regular season, where his side emerged victorious 55-23. However, Brown’s statement reflected the Commanders’ CB’s aggression quite accurately.

And now, the talk of the town is that the Commanders might part ways with Marshon Lattimore after a season only. The team picked him up in the middle of the season in a trade with the Saints. The reason for this is his constant struggle with injuries and, of course, not performing up to their expectations.

Marshon played seven seasons with the Saints before joining the Commanders for a few games this season. However, his new team might not keep him around for long. Although the team has spent a lot of money on him, cutting him could free up cap space to invest in other options.

Analysts suggest that Washington should release him rather than hold on to him out of financial guilt. If Lattimore fails to perform, it will negatively impact the team’s overall performance. So, it looks like the Commanders have quite a lot to work on.
