Commanders Have Opening to Trade for 1,000-Yard WR From AFC East
Even though the Washington Commanders have a bright future with rookie Jayden Daniels at quarterback, they might want to resist the temptation to make a huge splash at wide receiver via trade.
Pricey veterans can come with big-time egos and impact team chemistry. Not to mention the best option is always going to be to add a player via the draft.
But if there’s some type of bargain to be had? That’s something the Commanders should investigate.

“Some high-level league sources are currently wondering whether the trade for Davante Adams will put (Jets) WR Mike Williams on the market and what the price would be to encourage a deal,” Anderson wrote on her official X account.
Williams was signed so he could be a second option behind star wide receiver Garrett Wilson. Through 6 games, Williams has just 10 receptions for 145 yards and no touchdowns.
In a telling aside, Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw Williams squarely under the bus after a 23-20 loss to the Buffalo Bills on October 14. Rodgers threw the game-sealing interception trying to get the ball to Williams in the fourth quarter, and after the game said it was because Williams ran the wrong route.
The Jets dropped to 2-4 with their third consecutive loss and have a short week before traveling to face the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday Night Football.
“The (Jets) are planning to make WR Mike Williams available for trade after acquiring Davante Adams,” FOX Sports NFL Insider Jordan Schultz wrote on his official X account. “Williams signed a 1-year deal this offseason and the current receiver room is just too crowded.”
