Updated Commanders roster ahead of next week’s rookie minicamp
The Washington Commanders opened their offseason program last month. However, Washington’s decision to either pick up or not pick up defensive end Chase Young’s fifth-year option was the story.
The Commanders decided not to pick up Young’s option for 2024, and then we were on to the 2023 NFL draft.
Washington added seven players in the draft, four on defense and three on offense. After the draft, the Commanders signed 12 undrafted free agents. It’s important to note that the undrafted free agents aren’t currently listed on Washington’s roster, as they must pass a physical on May 11 before the rookie minicamp.
The Commanders invited several more to participate at next weekend’s rookie minicamp, where other players could be signed to fill out Washington’s 90-man offseason roster.
Per the Commanders’ official website, Washington currently has 80 players on the roster. That number will change after next week’s minicamp as the UDFA signings will become official.
Here is a look at Washington’s 80 players ahead of next weekend’s rookie minicamp.
