Commanders Sign Jacob Martin, Impact on Dante Fowler Uncertain

The Washington Commanders are actively reshaping their roster during the current free agency period, focusing on experienced players as they aim for a Super Bowl run. They recently signed edge rusher Jacob Martin to a one-year deal worth up to $3 million, which could indicate the team may not retain Dante Fowler Jr., who is still seeking a new contract after a successful 2024 season with 10.5 sacks. Despite having significant salary cap space, the Commanders have opted for veteran signings over big-name acquisitions, raising questions among fans about the team's strategy. The Commanders have also traded for left tackle Laremy Tunsil and signed safety Will Harris, though many of their signings have been of older players. Meanwhile, safety Darrick Forrest has left the team to join the Buffalo Bills, leaving just two players from the 2021 draft class on the roster. As the free agency continues, the team is expected to make further additions to bolster their depth ahead of the upcoming season.
