Commanders offensive breakdown: Will Sam Howell be the starting QB next season?
New York TimesThe speculation over who Washington Commanders managing partner Josh Harris seeks to run the front office and hire as head coach is dramatically ramping up. Before Harris reveals his vision, here’s a two-part 2024 roster preview — starting with the offense — of what they’ll tackle and how the starting spots might need rejiggering. Quarterback Starter — Sam Howell/TBD QB2/QB3 — Open Others — Jacoby Brissett, Jake Fromm Assessment: The future quarterback view changed over Washington’s four-game losing streak, and it’s not about Howell. Wide receiver Starters — Terry McLaurin, Jahan Dotson WR3 — TBD Depth — Dyami Brown, Mitchell Tinsley Others — Curtis Samuel, Byron Pringle, Jamison Crowder, Dax Milne, Kazmeir Allen, Brycen Tremayne Assessment: The offense’s strength entering the season turned into a diminished product through 13 games. Offensive line Center — Ricky Stromberg Depth — Nick Gates Other — Tyler Larsen, Nolan Laufenberg Guards — TBD/Sam Cosmi Depth — Chris Paul, Julian Good-Jones, Mason Brooks Others — Saahdiq Charles Tackles — TBD, Andrew Wylie Depth — Braeden Daniels Others — Charles Leno Jr., Cornelius Lucas, Trent Scott, Alex Akingbulu, Jaryd Jones-Smith Assessment: Any boasting about roster development under Rivera falls flat with the offensive line.
