Adam Peters made it pretty clear that he wanted to supply Jayden Daniels with more offensive firepower heading into his quarterback's second season. The Washington Commanders traded for established star Deebo Samuel Sr. and brought in several other experienced pass-catchers for training camp.
When the dust settled on the final roster, veterans Michael Gallup and K.J. Osborn were gone, and promising undrafted rookie Ja’Corey Brooks was on the practice squad. Peters initially kept just five receivers, then brought one of the vets — Chris Moore — back from the practice squad before the season opener.
With standout Terry McLaurin still shaking off the rust from his long contract standoff, Samuel was the only receiver who made a major impact in Week 1.
