The Washington Commanders are coming off of a tough loss to the rival Philadelphia Eagles in Week 11. They’re still sitting at 7-3 and headed towards the playoffs, but this loss was telling in terms of areas they need to address.
Wide receiver is clearly one of them. Terry McLaurin was held to zero catches in the first half, ending the game with just one reception for 10 yards. Outside of McLaurin, Commanders wide receivers combined for just three catches, courtesy of Olamide Zaccheus, Noah Brown and Dyami Brown. They clearly need a spark, so how about taking a flier on a former All-Pro pass catcher?
Bleacher Report thinks it’d be ideal for Washington to sign former New Orleans Saints receiver Michael Thomas before their playoff push.
There’s room to add a receiver before the stretch run, and Michael Thomas is the top perimeter pass-catcher still available. The 31-year-old is past his prime but showed last season that he can still contribute. In 10 games with the Saints, Thomas caught 39 passes for 448 yards and a touchdown.
