Van Jefferson News
Friday, March 13, 12:25 PM
The Washington Commanders are signing veteran free-agent wide receiver Van Jefferson (forearm) to an undisclosed deal on Friday, a source told Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic. Even though it's wide open right now behind WR1 Terry McLaurin in D.C., the 29-year-old Jefferson will most likely serve as a depth option for the Commanders in 2026. The team also brought back Dyami Brown on Friday after he spent his first four seasons with Washington. Jefferson ended last year on Injured Reserve due to a forearm injury. Before his injury, the former second-round pick by the Los Angeles Rams in 2020 caught 29 of his 52 targets for 350 yards and one touchdown in 16 games (seven starts) with the Tennessee Titans. Jefferson's career year in 2021 with the Rams in his second year in the league has been the outlier, as he hasn't come anywhere close to the 802 receiving yards and six TDs he had that season. The Commanders are likely to bring in more receiving help via free agency and the draft, which would push Jefferson further down the WR depth chart.

Chimere Dike News
Friday, March 20, 9:21 AM
Across 17 games as a rookie in 2025, Tennessee Titans wide receiver Chimere Dike recorded 48 receptions for 423 yards and four touchdowns on 74 targets. While Dike's numbers may not jump off the page, he finished first among Titans wideouts in catches, an impressive feat for a fourth-rounder in his first NFL season. However, Dike's role in the Tennessee offense may be in question heading into 2026. The Titans signed former New York Giants wideout Wan'Dale Robinson to a lucrative four-year pact in free agency, pushing Dike down the depth chart in the slot. Tennessee also agreed to a contract restructure to retain veteran wide receiver Calvin Ridley, who played in just seven games due to injury in 2025. Finally, the Titans will be employing a new offensive coaching staff in 2026 that carries no past loyalty to Dike. Dike's encouraging rookie campaign gives him some dynasty upside, but the 24-year-old's long-term outlook is a bit murkier after Tennessee's offseason moves.
