There have been several changes to the Commanders roster since we published the last depth chart update on Sunday. Here’s a quick summary of the reported transactions in the past 24 hours or so:
Re-signed/extended
- QB Marcus Mariota – 1 year ($7m)
- LT Laremy Tunsil – 2 years ($30.2m)
Free agents signed from other teams
- EDGE Odafe Oweh – 4 yrs, $100m
- LB Leo Chenal – 3 yrs, $24.75m
- CB Amik Robertson – 2 yrs, $16m
- DT Tim Settle – 3 yrs, $24m
The updated depth chart
- Players under contract are shown in BOLD
- Newly signed free agents are shown in bold with a pink background
- Pending free agents are shown in italics with a grey background
- Zach Ertz & Austin Ekeler have black backgrounds to indicate severe injury last season
- Tyree Jackson & Chris Rodriguez have yellow backgrounds to indicate that they are Restricted Free Agents — RFAs have to be tendered by 4 p.m. ET today (March 11th) or they become unrestricted free agents
The numbers that appear beside some players’ names are 2025 cap hits per Over the Cap. I have not included cap hits below $1.5m. Newly signed free agents and newly extended players do not have cap hits listed since most have not yet been publicly reported; these will be updated as we move forward through the offseason.
The Commanders currently have 33 defensive players, 25 offensive players and 3 special teams players.
Please note that assigned positions and color coding are my own personal opinions. They do not necessarily represent the thinking of Washington’s coaches or front office, nor are they necessarily consistent with fan consensus. This chart represents my personal interpretation, and may not reflect the thoughts of other writers on Hogs Haven. Finally, when it comes to backup players, I don’t put much effort into making sure that they are on the right or left or behind the specific player that they backup. I mostly just try to fit everyone on the chart efficiently.
It’s also probably worth noting that I have retained the 4-3 “look” on the defensive side of the chart, primarily to avoid a lot of angst in trying to assign players to positions in a 3-4 alignment. After free agency, there should be more clarity and I may update the layout of the chart. For the moment, the defensive layout is a bit schizophrenic.
Free agency is not over by any means. The Commanders still need to add another 30 players to the offseason roster, and they currently hold only 6 picks in April’s draft.
That means that Adam Peters is still looking to add another 2 dozen veteran and college free agents over the coming weeks.
With 61 players, the Commanders haven’t yet reached the number of players that will comprise the 53-man roster and 16-man practice squad in 2025. There are still plenty of thin spots on the roster to patch up ahead of the draft.
The team needs to add more ‘impact’ players in free agency — with many fans focused on TE, WR, RB, another CB and more defensive depth — but within a day or two, free agency will move into the 2nd wave, in which most of the top-tier veterans will have found a home. The Maxx Crosby situation may add a bit of turmoil today and the rest of the week as teams try to figure out how the free agency dynamic is changed by the many ripple effects of the Ravens reversal.
