The Washington Commanders and New York Giants are in the same boat ahead of free agency, as both teams need help at wide receiver.
In New York, the Giants could lose Wan'Dale Robinson in free agency. There have been no shortage of rumors linking Robinson to the Tennessee Titans specifically.
Should Robinson leave, the Giants must make an impact addition behind Malik Nabers, who is a question mark himself thanks to a torn ACL suffered in 2025.
The Commanders have their own key pending free agent at wide receiver in Deebo Samuel and his departure would leave Washington in rough shape at wide receiver outside of Terry McLaurin.
In what is an interesting rumor for both teams, CBS Sports' Jonathan Jones named the NFC East foes as two teams to "keep an eye on" for six-time Pro Bowl wide receiver, Mike Evans.
Jones also mentioned the Buffalo Bills, San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Chargers, although it's possible Buffalo won't be interested any longer after acquiring of DJ Moore in a trade with the Chicago Bears.
"If Evans does not return to Tampa Bay, keep an eye on the Bills, Chargers, 49ers, Commanders and Giants," Jones wrote.
Evans recently announced through his agents that he will play again in 2026, but in that announcement was the future Hall of Famer's intention to test the market, something he has never done in his career.
Evans isn't just going to sign with any team, though, and in fact he has specific demands for his next landing spot, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
One important one is Evans wants to land with a team that gives him a chance to win a Super Bowl.
"Mike Evans will limit his choices to a handful of teams in part because of his criteria. He wants a quarterback he believes in, a chance at a Super Bowl, a top-shelf offensive coordinator and the promise of high-volume touches," Fowler reported.
So there's a few problems here for the Commanders and Giants, with the most obvious being that neither is considered a Super Bowl contender.
The Giants have a well-known play-caller in Matt Nagy, but calling him a "top-shelf offensive coordinator" would be a big stretch. Washington has a first-time play-caller in David Blough, so he doesn't fit that mold, either.
On the plus side, the both teams can offer Evans plenty of targets given the state of their respective wide receivers rooms, and Washington and New York both have promising young signal-callers who have the potential to be elite.
So, the Commanders and Giants could check as many as two of the boxes Evans is looking for, but whether or not that will be enough to lure him in remains to be seen.
