Washington Commanders 2026 Free Agency Rumors Tracker: Adding more defensive players on Day 2

The NFL’s legal tampering period started yesterday at noon, and there was plenty of action. That action didn’t get to the Washington Commanders until reports came out that they had agreed to a 2-year extension with LT Laremy Tunsil. The first free agent “signing” from another team was a letdown if you were expecting the promised fireworks from Washington when free agency started. Lions CB Amik Robertson agreed to a 2-year deal, but only provided sparklers for a fanbase looking for top talent to revive a team that went 5-12 last season.

The fourth hour of legal tampering only gave the fanbase another re-signing, but it was an important one. Backup QB Marcus Mariota is returning for another year, and the crowd went mild. If you were one of the many fans asking for proof that Adam Peters was alive, had access to Josh Harris’s password for the salary cap funds, and was willing/allowed to spend it; the good news came with the announcement that Chargers DE Odafe Oweh had agreed to terms on a 4-year, $100 million deal. Adam Peters lives! The first day of legal tampering ended with a homecoming. Former Redskins 5th-round pick Tim Settle Jr. agreed to return to Washington on a three-year deal.

The new league year starts tomorrow at 4pm. Contracts reported for free agents with expiring contracts during the two day legal tampering window won’t be official until the new league year starts. Washington was still signing a few of their pending free agents before they hit the market, and none of their FAs agreed to deals with other teams.
