Overview
- The latest mock from NFL.com has Washington selecting Bain despite a week of defensive signings that included multiple edge additions.
- GM Adam Peters has executed 13 new contracts early in free agency with a clear tilt toward younger, versatile defenders, with seven outside additions on defense.
- Edge remains a viable draft target because Odafe Oweh is on a longer deal while Dorance Armstrong enters a contract year and K'Lavon Chaisson and Charles Omenihu are on one-year agreements.
- Washington re-signed backup quarterback Marcus Mariota on a one-year, $7 million deal to preserve veteran depth after Jayden Daniels was limited to seven games in 2025 due to injuries.
- ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler has floated Washington as a potential wild-card suitor for Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson, a speculative scenario tied to Daniels’ durability questions.
