The Washington Commanders continue to make headlines during the 2025 free agency period by being linked to two former Pro Bowlers: wide receiver Keenan Allen and edge rusher Matthew Judon. Both players are notable free agents whose performance in recent seasons has raised questions, particularly due to injuries and team dynamics.
Keenan Allen, despite a dip in his open score ranking to 64th last season, has shown he can still create separation on the field. His value was affected by the lackluster performance of the Chicago Bears offense, which struggled in 2023. However, he could thrive in Washington with the right quarterback, specifically Jayden Daniels, who could help draw coverage away from Allen.
On the other hand, Matthew Judon had a slow start with the Atlanta Falcons last season but regained some form in the later stages, accumulating four sacks and a pick-six in his last seven games. At 33, he may be relegated to a part-time role, but his presence could provide veteran leadership to a young edge rusher the Commanders may draft.
Both players offer potential upside for the Commanders as they look to bolster their roster ahead of the draft, indicating their ambition for a postseason run in 2025.
