Thursday was a busy day for the league, with on-field drills at the NFL Scouting Combine getting underway and the NFLPA's annual report cards being leaked, despite owners' wishes. But for the Washington Commanders, it was something entirely unrelated that sent shockwaves through the news cycle.
The Commanders decided to release starting center Tyler Biadasz, who had one year left on a three-year, $29.25 million deal he signed over the 2024 offseason. It's puzzling, to say the least.
Unless the season-ending knee injury Biadasz suffered in Week 16 was worse than feared, there doesn't seem to be much of an explanation for his departure.
