Commanders Sign Ja'Corey Brooks, Seek Edge Rusher

The Washington Commanders have addressed several offseason needs but still face questions at edge rusher after failing to draft or sign a high-impact pass rusher, a concern highlighted by ESPN's John Keim. With last season's leading edge rusher Dante Fowler Jr. departing in free agency, none of the remaining players at the position surpassed 5.5 sacks, prompting speculation about interest in veteran options like Von Miller, a two-time Super Bowl champion. While the team has improved its run defense and overall roster depth, the lack of proven pass-rushing talent remains a potential weak point for the upcoming season. Signing a veteran such as Miller could help fill this gap, given his extensive experience and track record of game-changing plays. The Commanders' front office appears open to further free agency moves to strengthen the position. Their decisions in the coming weeks could be pivotal for defensive success in 2025.
