The Washington Commanders are obviously in "go for it'' mode.
Do they need to "go for'' another Jayden Daniels weapon?
And these months of the offseason have shown the Commanders putting that strategy into action. They have been aggressive in trades for Deebo Samuel, a strong No. 2 receiver, and Laremy Tunsil, a key addition to the line.
That is how you load up ... with Deebo joining Terry McLaurin as Jayden's primo receiving weapons.
But ideally, Washington wants the infrastructure around this quarterback as strong as possible. And now that we know the Baltimore Ravens listed to trade offers from the Dallas Cowboys for receiver Rashod Bateman. ...
Bateman is a name being linked via rumor to a Commanders team that would love to return to NFC Championship Game this year.
McLaurin and Deebo? Strong.
Michael Gallup and Noah Brown and Luke McCaffrey? Maybes.
We can make the argument that Noah Brown and Luke McCaffrey are "good enough'' names to watch heading into camp. At the same time, the ''Jayden Window'' - the four-years-or-fewer period during which he'll play like a Pro Bowler while on a cheap contract - should be exploited.
Bateman posted 756 yards and scored nine touchdowns last season. We're not sure why the Ravens are willing to move on here. But Bateman has proven he can produce in an elite offense. ... and if he lands in Washington, this offense is all the more elite.
