This offseason, the Washington Commanders have been identified as a potential fit for NFL record-holder free agent Michael Thomas.
The Washington Commanders are a potential possibility for NFL record-holder free agency Michael Thomas this offseason.A source suggests that the Commanders could combine Jayden Daniels with one of the market’s top wideouts. According to many sources, Thomas can be a dependable veteran if he maintains good health. However, free agency has not treated the veteran well this summer, and it is only a matter of time before he finds a new NFL home.
Given that he leads the league in single-season receptions, it’s logical to expect him to join a team shortly. However, he is not the same prolific receiver as before, which may deter some organizations from contacting him. Thomas has only played in 13 games over the last three seasons, so it’s safe to conclude his career is winding down. Health is a worry for many rosters, which is why he isn’t getting much attention.
According to a source, Thomas would provide the Commanders with a unique perspective if he were healthy. He’s a bigger target than Jahan Dotson and Terry McLaurin, so he should fit in nicely with the attack. The incoming receiver, Luke McCaffrey, may be a mismatch, but adding Thomas might provide Daniels with a complete wideout package. Thomas might be a good slot receiver who catches passes on the perimeter.
However, they will most likely provide Thomas an advantage against Dotson in terms of catching long balls on the vertical route, opposing McLaurin. Daniels will need another outstanding receiver on the other side to gain experience and see what he can accomplish with his arm talent. Thomas is a quarterback-friendly receiver, so he can make those crucial catches.
The Cowboys have done little to improve Dak Prescott’s supporting cast. If Dallas does not make a move for Prescott, this will most likely be his final season. Head coach Mike McCarthy is on the hot seat, so it’s hardly surprising if the Cowboys struggle this season. However, they require a trustworthy receiver to supplement what Brandin Cooks is doing in the slot.
The Cowboys are preparing to trade CeeDee Lamb, who is now without an extension. He expects to sit out beyond this year’s training camp, which is bad news for Dallas. If they feel Lamb isn’t worth the hassle, Thomas will take over as the team’s top receiver.
Kansas City Chiefs
Mecole Hardman is returning to the lineup, but Marquez Valdes-Scantling is moving on. Patrick Mahomes’ wideout corps will be different, so they might as well bring Thomas in on the cheap. Xavier Worthy would need a dependable veteran to learn from, and Thomas would likely supply that expertise to strengthen this bunch. Kadarius Toney and Skyy Moore only have a couple years left before the Chiefs decide to bring in younger players to construct a new squad around Worthy.
Rashee Rice will not start the first few games due to off-field difficulties, therefore they need someone willing to step in as an interim starter. However, he is likely to win the job and play with Rice and Worthy. It would give Kansas City another solid shot at the Super Bowl.
Baltimore Ravens
Zay Flowers and Mark Andrews have been among the Ravens’ most reliable pass catchers over the last three seasons. However, Rashod Bateman hasn’t done anything extraordinary to assist this group. He’s returning on a contract extension, but imagine if they only had two explosive weapons and Bateman was still failing. This would allow Thomas to restart his career by catching those contested balls on the opposite side while Flowers is the speedster.
