As the Washington Commanders enter a pivotal offseason, the front office will face a familiar question: play it safe, or take a calculated swing for upside.
If Washington chooses the aggressive route, Breece Hall stands out as a potential difference maker. A dynamic runner with pass catching ability, Hall would immediately raise the ceiling of the offense while also requiring confidence in health and cost management.
At tight end, Kyle Pitts represents a classic upside bet. His athletic profile and mismatch potential are undeniable, but consistency and role clarity would be key factors in determining whether he could truly flourish in Washington’s offense.
On the defensive side, Jaylen Watson offers a younger, ascending option in the secondary. Adding a corner with starting experience and upside could help stabilize coverage while aligning with a longer term roster vision.
None of these moves come without risk. Each would signal a willingness to invest resources for upside rather than simply maintain flexibility. The real question is whether this offseason is the right moment for Washington to take that kind of swing.
