Hello Marcus Kemp, goodbye Cam Sims
Many media outlets have reported that long-time Washington wide receiver and special teams standout Cam Sims has left in free agency, signing with the Las Vegas Raiders, where he will be a familiar face for the Raiders new passing game coordinator, Scott Turner.
Cam Sims joined Washington in 2018. Only longer-tenured players after last season:
* Tress Way (2014)
* Chase Roullier (2017)
* Jonathan Allen (2017)
Daron...
It took Cole a while before he landed a free agency deal in 2022, with the Raiders signing him more than a week after last year’s draft. The team is locking the veteran wide receiver down days into the new league year.
Getting rid of Dan Snyder may require a "Magic" act. Per Sportico, NBA Hall of Famer Earvin "Magic" Johnson joined a group led by Josh Harris that is bidding on the Washington Commanders franchise.
Multiple reports surfaced over the weekend that the sale of the Washington Commanders is imminent. Philadelphia 76ers and New Jersey Devils owner Josh Harris has emerged as the frontrunner to purchase the Commanders from Dan and Tanya Snyder.
The Las Vegas Raiders are signing WR Cam Sims, according to Ben Standig. Sims, 27, wound up going undrafted out of Alabama back in 2018. He was placed on injured reserve a few weeks into the 2018 season.

Another addition to the Josh Harris ownership group
The sale of the Washington Commanders seems to be getting close to an announcement. There has been a lot of positive signs that Dan Snyder will finally sell the team that he has owned for almost 24 years. There are still issues that need to be resolved like Snyder’s demand for indemnification from the other NFL owners for liability from lawsuits and settlements. NFL owners are getting...

More LB help
The Washington Commanders have already signed one linebacker in free agency, and lost another. Former Seattle Seahawks LB Cody Barton agreed to terms on a 1-year deal during the NFL’s legal tampering period and is already talking about competing for starting middle linebacker. Washington lost former starting LB Cole Holcomb to the Pittsburgh Steelers after the two sides couldn’t agree to terms on a new contract.

To start, let me be clear - as I have been in the past - I’m not a proponent of drafting primarily for “need” (i.e., to fill a starting hole on a roster). That’s not to say “need” shouldn’t be considered in the draft, but that it should come behind other, more important factors, like positional value and player talent level - so called, “best player available.”
That said, looking at need, particularly future needs, is an important...
As the March league owners’ meetings draw closer, the sense around the NFL continues to build that Dan Snyder‘s time as owner of the Commanders will come to an end.
Veteran TE Eli Wolf announced his retirement from the NFL via his Instagram account on Sunday. Wolf, 26, wound up going undrafted out of Georgia back in 2020.
