Only Jacory Croskey-Merritt remains under contract for the Commanders in 2026, as Austin Ekeler and Jeremy McNichols are set to hit free agency. The team is reportedly seeking a 'thumper' or early-down star to revitalize their run game.
Tyler Allgeier stands out as a potential target. The 25-year-old fits the outside zone scheme and provides the power element Washington desires. His contract value of $5.7 million makes him an affordable option to lead the backfield.
