Who Should I Start? Marcus Kemp or Michael Thomas

The Washington Commanders released veteran wide receiver Marcus Kemp on Monday, according to a source. Kemp spent time with the Kansas City Chiefs and New York Giants last year, but didn't have a single target in three active contests with the Chiefs. In five seasons in the NFL, he has just four catches on eight targets for 42 yards in 47 games (zero starts). The 28-year-old is mostly an asset on special teams while also providing depth in the receiver room. He will now hope to catch on with another organization before the start of the 2023 regular season.

Wide receiver Michael Thomas (knee) is no longer under contract with the New Orleans Saints, according to a source, and is now officially a free agent. It was a formality this offseason since his deal was only really for one year. The 31-year-old was designated as a post-June 1 cut by the Saints. Thomas missed the final seven games of the 2023 season due to a knee injury and isn't likely to have a very robust market given all of the injuries he's endured since leading the NFL in receptions (149) and receiving yards (1,725) in 2019, the last year he was named to the Pro Bowl. Since then, the former second-round pick by the Saints in 2016 out of Ohio State has played in only 20 games and has caught 95 passes for 1,057 yards and four touchdowns.
