The Commanders still need help at cornerback. One veteran is worth a flier.

After one week of free agency, there's no doubt that the Washington Commanders have improved their roster. Washington had so many holes ahead of free agency that it was almost impossible to fill each and every one. General manager Adam Peters has attacked almost every position on the roster, signing 12 outside free agents thus far and bringing back several key internal free agents.

The Commanders still need a center, although Nick Allegretti could start there in Week 1. Washington will probably add a center in the 2026 NFL Draft. Wide receiver remains a significant need, and the Commanders still need another running back.

But the one position that stands out among them all is cornerback. Washington's cornerback play was abysmal last season. New defensive coordinator Daronte Jones is a defensive backs coach.

He should be able to help the returning players, such as Mike Sainristil. The Commanders also signed veteran Amik Robertson, who can play inside or outside. It's not enough.
