Did Washington’s commanders stumble upon THE waiver period flight after final cuts?
Those commanders signed receiver Noah Brown last week and some pundits have already surrounded it in red ink as a fantastic move from the organization.
One such pundit even called it one of the biggest talking points coming out of the preseason, with Bleacher Report Brad Gagnon writing the following:
“New receiver Noah Brown has a long history with Terry McLaurin and Dan Quinn, and he has the ability to thrive alongside Jayden Daniels. I really think his signing could be viewed as a great late-summer move that would fly under the radar.”
This move surely came as a pleasant surprise to fans who were probably a little stunned by the wideout approach around Jayden Daniels after the Jahan Dotson trade.
But Brown is a pretty sneaky addition to the depth chart as a former 2017 seventh-round pick who has proven productive in the pros and has previous ties to the Commanders. He was Terry McLaurin’s teammate at Ohio State, and he spent time with Quinn in Dallas. Injuries will be a question after he struggled to stay healthy in Houston this summer, but the positives certainly look appealing.
Brown may not be able to dethrone Dyami Brown quickly, and the Commanders will still want Luke McCaffrey to develop alongside Daniels, that’s for sure. But this nice signing could prove to be a big moneymaker, both for the developing franchise passer and perhaps for the immediate rankings.
