The Washington Commanders seemingly still need help at wide receiver. Two veterans remain linked to Washington: Stefon Diggs and Brandon Aiyuk. The Commanders could sign Diggs now, while Aiyuk remains property of the San Francisco 49ers, even though they've said he's played his last down there.
Is Washington waiting for the 49ers to move on from Aiyuk? That's what many believe. However, San Francisco isn't about to give Aiyuk what he wants, so GM John Lynch could hang onto him through the summer. Do the Commanders still want to wait that out?
Four ESPN analysts recently named four veteran players who could be traded this summer: Bills WR Keon Coleman, Bears TE Cole Kmet, Giants edge Kayvon Thibodeaux and Colts QB Anthony Richardson. Each analyst makes an offer for each player and then determines whether their current team will accept any of the offers or hang onto the players.
Washington was named by Dan Graziano as a potential option for Coleman. Here's the offer Graziano proposed, along with his analysis of a potential move:
Dan Graziano's offer:
Thanks, but no thanks. Sure, the 6-foot-3, 213-pound Coleman has a good draft pedigree as a former second-round pick. He has impressive size, and he's still young (23). But that's about it. Does anyone remember the owner's comments about Coleman in January when discussing the firing of head coach Sean McDermott? That reflected poorly on owner Terry Pegula and GM Brandon Beane more than McDermott.
In two NFL seasons, Coleman has appeared in 26 games, making 18 starts. He has 67 receptions for 960 yards, with eight touchdowns. As a rookie, Coleman caught only 29 passes, but averaged over 19 yards per catch. The potential remains, but Coleman is a frustrating player. He's frustrated teammates, coaches, fans, and, apparently, the owner.
So, what does he really bring that the combination of Treylon Burks, Dyami Brown, Luke McCaffrey and Jaylin Lane can't already provide? Burks is a former first-round pick, has size, has flashed potential and the team likes him. Brown, McCaffrey and Lane are all Washington draft picks selected in the third and fourth rounds.
What the Commanders need is proven veteran production, not another project. Even if the Bills trade Coleman, Washington wouldn't appear to be a match. If the Commanders sign a receiver, Diggs or Aiyuk make sense. Coleman does not.
