Washington Commanders: Host Top Free-Agent Wide Receiver

The Washington Commanders could still improve the wide receiver position, as they currently have five receivers on the 53-man roster and two players with injury concerns. Noah Brown opened training camp as a limited participant with an undisclosed injury but was cleared for full contact by the second week of practice. Meanwhile, Terry McLaurin may be rusty to start the season after missing most of camp due to an ankle injury and a contract dispute, which was resolved last week with a lucrative contract extension.

Washington Commanders have expressed interest in a veteran WR

Kendrick Bourne is considered the top free-agent wide receiver available, having spent the last four seasons with the New England Patriots. The Patriots released the 30-year-old on Wednesday after failing to find a trade suitor during roster cuts and granting his wish to be released. The Washington Commanders and the San Francisco 49ers are considered the two favorites to land Bourne.

Washington Commanders host the top free-agent wide receiver

According to Ian Rapoport, the Washington Commanders are hosting Kendrick Bourne for a visit on Tuesday. He previously visited the San Francisco 49ers on Monday but left San Francisco without a deal. If everything goes well, the Commanders could sign Bourne to a contract, making him a key weapon for Jayden Daniels in 2025.

A big day today for Kendrick Bourne. He’s at the #Commanders after visiting the #49ers yesterday. https://t.co/od8M95WNxK
