Breaking: Commanders close in to sign Texans mega star in a blockbuster deal.
Last week, the Philadelphia Eagles acquired receiver Jahan Dotson from the Washington Commanders. Some of the other guys on the roster now have greater opportunities to advance thanks to that trade, but when the Commanders go through the available players from cut down day, would they be searching for something more? Robert Woods, a receiver who the Houston Texans are about to release, would be useful to the Commanders, according to a Bleacher Report story.
“The Houston Texans wide receiver room got really crowded really fast,” writes B/R. “Although Robert Woods was brought in to provide some veteran leadership and consistency, young guys quickly established themselves.”
“Last season, Tank Dell and Nico Collins were invaluable to the offense. Their underappreciated weapon, Noah Brown, was acquired in exchange for Stefon Diggs. In training camp and the preseason, John Metchie III showed signs of being able to assist.”
This is a really sensible move, and at thirty-two, he is not quite the same age as the younger players who have found success with quarterback C.J. Stroud. Woods delivered 40 receptions for 426 yards and a touchdown last season, even at his advanced age.
B/R goes on, “The Steelers and Commanders spring to mind.” “This preseason, both have been linked to Brandon Aiyuk. Woods would provide both clubs with a dependable veteran presence that neither of the teams really has, even though he is not Aiyuk.
“Woods might assist in replacing Jahan Dotson in Washington while he would be a top option in Pittsburgh alongside George Pickens and Van Jefferson. The young receiver was recently traded, and Jayden Daniels needs weapons. Over the coming week, Adam Peters and company will be hard at work trimming their own roster and searching for ways to bolster it with players who have been let go by other teams. In the event that Woods is freed, the Commanders ought to at least investigate whether he would make a suitable, seasoned addition.
