The Commanders appear primed and ready to lock in their position as “sellers” at the NFL trade deadline — barring a Week 8 upset. After an up-and-down 3-4 start to the season, Washington is facing a make-or-break matchup with the 6-1 Eagles, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
If the Commanders were to win against Philly, they'd be in a position to make a push for the playoffs. But a loss on Sunday could "leave them as potentially looking to unload players as soon as Monday morning," per Schefter. The focus would then reportedly shift to the defensive line, as names like Chase Young and Montez Sweat, and Schefter reported that at least one team has already reached out about the latter.
