NFL players seek trade with Commanders at deadline: Report – NBC4 Washington

It's a good time to be a Washington Commanders fan.

On Saturday, before Washington's 27-22 victory over the New York Giants on Sunday, ESPN's Adam Schefter, citing league sources, reported that NFL players had privately expressed their desire to become commanders or told their agents.

Although no specific names were mentioned in the report, the Commanders could pursue certain suggestions as they seek additional help at cornerback and wide receiver, Schefter added.

With the trade deadline set for Tuesday at 4:00 p.m. ET, the Commanders have established themselves as a major contender based on the comprehensive performance of their new ownership, their new front office, their coaching staff under Dan Quinn and rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels.

Daniels has played a critical role in helping Washington to 7-2, with crucial wins over the Cincinnati Bengals and Chicago Bears helping the team establish itself in the league.

Brian Robinson Jr. and Terry McLaurin are also thriving on offense, while veterans Zach Ertz and Austin Ekeler show they still have potential. Defensively, veteran linebackers Bobby Wagner and Dante Fowler Jr. are doing the same thing.

But the Commanders still have a difficult road ahead of them to continue to prove that they belong at the top of the NFC group. They still have to play twice against the Philadelphia Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys. Even though the latter have major problems, division games are rarely straightforward.

More games against the Pittsburgh Steelers and Atlanta Falcons will also test Washington, although rumors of players wanting to become commanders suggest the team is on the rise, which is what a franchise that has won just two postseason appearances since 2015. traveled is significant.
