Commanders Boost Defense, Eye Aiyuk Trade

Welcome to NFL News Today.

Washington Commanders General Manager Adam Peters has tackled fan criticisms after a

tough season by beefing up the defense.

They signed edge rushers, Odafe Owe, and K-Levon Sheson, added linebacker Leo Chanol for the

middle and brought in Nick Cross and Amick Robertson too.

Strengthen the secondary.

These moves fix some of the team's biggest holes on that side of the ball.

On offense, the changes have been lighter.

They picked up running backs, Rashad White and Jerome Ford, plus Tideon Shiggo Conquo.

But the unit scored 7.6 fewer points per game than the year before, and White Receiver

remains a weak spot despite adding Van Jefferson in.

Diamy Brown.

Fans and analysts are buzzing about a potential link to San Francisco 49ers, White Receiver

Brandon Ayuk.

He is a former second team all pro who play college ball with Commanders quarterback

Jaden Daniels and sources say Washington knows about his.

Interest in reuniting.

However, talks are stalled.

Ayuk missed all of the 2025 season with an e-injury and has just 374 yards and no touchdowns

over the past two years.

He still has three years left on a four year 120 million dollar deal.

The 49ers are holding firm and face 29.5 million in deadcap if they release him while

the commanders want no big trade for.

The risk.

For now, it looks like a standoff, so Washington may hunt elsewhere for receiver help.
