It was a mild surprise when the Washington Commanders released Bobby McCain ahead of free agency last month. It’s not that McCain was irreplaceable, but he didn’t cost a lot; he started and played well last season.
But with the emergence of young safeties Darrick Forrest and Percy Butler, along with Kamren Curl and Jeremy Reaves, the Commanders chose to save some money and go with younger players next season. Washington also intends to add a cornerback early in next month’s NFL draft.
