Evaluating Commanders Offseason Options: Tariq Woolen in Free Agency and WR Help in the Draft

Washington weighs free agency and the draft as two paths to upgrading the secondary and adding receiver help.

The Commanders’ offseason approach is beginning to come into focus, and two areas that stand out are cornerback and wide receiver.

On the defensive side, Tariq Woolen profiles as an intriguing upcoming free agent. His size, length, and press coverage ability align with what Washington may want defensively as the roster continues to reset. Adding a corner with his physical tools could allow the Commanders to be more aggressive on the outside and create flexibility in coverage schemes.

Offensively, the NFL Draft offers another opportunity to add immediate impact. One wide receiver worth monitoring is Jordyn Tyson, who brings a skill set that fits well with what Washington could use in its passing game. Tyson has shown the ability to win in contested situations, and he has big-play potential.

Beyond the numbers, Tyson consistently creates throwing windows, particularly on intermediate routes, shows strong hands in clutch moments, and has the ability to separate at the top of his routes. Those traits give him a chance to contribute early while continuing to develop alongside the team’s young offensive core.
