One minor move to pass along today:

Washington Commanders

Re-signed: WR/PR Kazmeir Allen, G Mason Brooks

Both of the 2023 UDFAs spent the majority of their rookie seasons on Washington’s practice squad. Allen made a name for himself at UCLA, hauling in 12 touchdowns in 38 games. He was also a collegiate sprinter, making him a natural candidate for return duties.

Commanders Set 53-Man Roster

August 29th, 2023 at 5:16pm CST by Ben Levine

The Commanders have been busy reducing their roster, with the organization cutting 12 players yesterday. The team finished off their transactions today, reducing their roster to 53 players:

Released:

DT Abdullah Anderson
TE/FB Alex Armah

Waived:

T Alex Akingbulu
WR Kazmeir Allen
DE William Bradley-King
G Mason Brooks
S Terrell Burgess
CB Tariq Castro-Fields
QB Jake Fromm
RB Derrick Gore
LB De’Jon Harris
T Jaryd Jones-Smith
C Tyler Larsen
G Nolan Laufenberg
DT Benning Potoa’e
S Kendall Smith
WR Brycen Tremayne
CB Jace Whittaker
CB Nick Whiteside II
CB Rachad Wildgoose

Placed on IR:

Despite tossing a pair of touchdowns in the preseason finale, Jake Fromm earned his walking papers from the Commanders. The quarterback was already facing an uphill battle to make the roster with Sam Howell and Jacoby Brissett ahead of him on the depth chart, and he’ll certainly be a popular target if he makes it through waivers. The former fifth-round pick started a pair of games for the Giants in 2021.

Commanders Add 12 UDFAs

May 3rd, 2023 at 1:20pm CST by Sam Robinson

The Commanders reached agreements with 12 undrafted free agents. Here is the NFC East team’s post-draft class:

WR Kazmeir Allen (UCLA)
WR Zion Bowens (Hawaii)
OL Mason Brooks (Ole Miss)
QB Tim DeMorat (Fordham)
S Xavier Henderson (Michigan State)
DE Joshua Pryor (Bowie State)
WR Jalen Sample (Minnesota State)
S Kendall Smith (Illinois)
CB D.J. Stirgus (Missouri Western)
WR Mitchell Tinsley (Penn State)
WR Brycen Tremayne (Stanford)
CB Nick Whiteside (Saginaw Valley State)

Ron Rivera‘s team hunted for wide receiver help during the post-draft signing period. In addition to the five receivers in this group, the Commanders offered Oklahoma Baptist wideout an $80K guarantee. But he ended up with the Falcons. Washington still authorized some decent UDFA guarantees to receivers.

Tinsley received a $120K guarantee to sign, per Tom Pelissero of NFL.com, while KPRC2’s Aaron Wilson adds Tremayne signed for $100K (Twitter links). Tremayne totaled eight touchdown receptions over the past two seasons and caught 38 passes for 490 yards during his senior year. While Tinsley joins Jahan Dotson as an ex-Nittany Lions wide receiver, he was not teammates with the Commanders’ 2022 first-rounder. Tinsley transferred from Western Kentucky in 2022. One of Bailey Zappe‘s targets during his monster Hilltoppers one-off, Tinsley totaled 1,402 yards and 14 touchdowns in that pass-crazed system in 2021. In his Big Ten season, Tinsley amassed 577 yards and five scores.

A former Tinsley teammate at Western Kentucky, Brooks was a first-round USFL draft choice last month. He will put that potential option on hold. The 5-foot-9 Allen won the 100-meter dash in one of the toughest states to do so (California) and operated as the Bruins’ kick returner in multiple seasons. Henderson started 40 games for the Spartans, taking advantage of his extra year of eligibility.

The Jets extended DeMorat a rookie-camp invite, Pelissero adds (on Twitter), but he will join a few non-Division I-FBS UDFAs in Washington instead. DeMorat finished his final Fordham season as a Division I-FCS first-team All-American, lighting up scoreboards during a 56-touchdown pass senior season. DeMorat finished last season with 4,891 passing yards. He finished as a three-time first-team All-Patriot League selection and parlayed his record-setting career into a East-West Shrine Bowl invite.

At receiver, Washington has three defined starters — Dotson, Terry McLaurin, Curtis Samuel — and former third-round pick Dyami Brown remains rostered. But this UDFA batch will vie for backup jobs. Although Sam Howell and Jacoby Brissett headline Washington’s QB room, the team also has ex-Georgia starter Jake Fromm on its offseason roster. The team did not draft a quarterback.
