Timely surgery twist propels elite free agent into Commanders' sights

It's no secret that the Washington Commanders need help on the defensive edge this offseason. Fans were deeply concerned about this position group before the campaign, and despite general manager Adam Peters holding a different opinion, they were right.

Injuries exposed the Commanders' glaring lack of edge-rushing depth. Generating pressure has been difficult throughout the campaign, especially after breakout star Dorance Armstrong Jr. got hurt.

How Peters goes about this is anyone's guess.
