The Washington Commanders are actively enhancing their secondary in preparation for fierce competition within their division. With talented receivers like A.J. Brown, CeeDee Lamb, and DeVonta Smith, the Commanders understand the necessity for a strong defensive backfield. The addition of Ole Miss cornerback Trey Amos in the second round of the draft indicates a strategic shift, possibly at the expense of veteran Noah Igbinoghene, who had been a solid contributor in 10 games last season. Igbinoghene has made significant strides but finds himself squeezed out as Amos is likely to start opposite Marshon Lattimore, with Mike Sainristil moving back into the slot.

This evolution reflects the harsh reality of the NFL, where even productive players can find themselves on the chopping block. The Commanders' decision could have major implications for their roster construction and overall defensive strategy as they gear up for what promises to be a highly competitive season.
