The Washington Football Team lost linebacker Kevin Pierre-Louis early in the legal tampering period. Pierre-Louis agreed to a two-year deal worth $8 million with the Houston Texans, a team that has prioritized signing coverage linebackers this offseason.
With Pierre-Louis now gone, Washington has a hole to fill in their starting lineup. Frankly, they need more than just one linebacker to fully upgrade their defense, but most importantly, they need a player who can do well in coverage as Pierre-Louis did.
That’s why Las Vegas Raiders linebacker Nicholas Morrow is a sensible target for them.
