News Update: Three early Commanders trade candidates before 2023 NFL deadline…..

Despite their record, the Commanders have shown some promising performances this season. They are among a bunch of teams averaging 2.5 touchdowns per game and also a top-10 team with 3.2 sacks per contest. That said, the Commanders have a ton more key games left in the season, including matchups against the Eagles, Patriots, and Seahawks. The Commanders have some tough games ahead, but they have shown potential this season and could still turn things around.

The Commanders’ offensive line has received criticism this season due to quarterback Sam Howell being hit too much. This could derail the team’s postseason aspirations. Sure, some of the blame can be placed on Howell. However, adding to Washington’s depth might be an option to consider if the price is right. The New England Patriots, who are currently 2s-5 under Bill Belichick, might decide to sell off assets such as Michael Onwenu. Onwenu has had some discipline issues this season. However, based on his exceptional 2022 form, he could be an immediate upgrade on the rotation and perhaps even as a starter. Onwenu is a versatile offensive lineman. He played in every Patriots game last season and started at multiple spots. He is one of the few blue-chip talents the Patriots have on their roster. The Commanders could get a significant return for him if they decide to trade him.

Jeremy Chinn

The Washington Commanders’ defense has a weakness at the defensive second level. In fact, Cody Barton’s performance is generally poor. This leaves Jamin Davis as the only reliable option within the linebacking corps. The Commanders should address this issue before the trade deadline. This is especially true since the safety tandem of Jeremy Reaves and Darrick Forrest are also injured.

Jeremy Chinn, a dynamic hybrid weapon, could be a good fit for the Commanders. Chinn is a highly instinctive player with great athleticism and closing speed. In addition, he can play multiple positions and contribute to special teams. The Carolina Panthers, who are currently 0-6, are reportedly looking to sell off assets. Chinn could be one of the expendable options. The Commanders might be able to extract decent value from the Panthers. This is considering Chinn is in the final year of his deal. It’s worth noting that Marty Hurney, who was Carolina’s general manager before, is now with the Commanders.
