According to Ian Rapoport, the Commanders “made a strong” trade offer in an attempt to land Wilson, but “it didn’t go anywhere.”
How serious are the #Commanders in their search for a QB? Sources say they made a strong offer to the #Seahawks on Russell Wilson. It didn’t go anywhere. But a sign Washington is ready to deal. And given what they have on their roster, they may be a QB away.

It was previously reported that the Commanders contacted every single team in the league in an attempt to find out if their quarterbacks were available.
Now, we know they at least attempted to seriously land a star passer.

It should be interesting to see if the Commanders are able to trade for a star quarterback or if they have to land one in the draft.
The only problem with the latter option is that it’s a terrible draft for quarterbacks. It’s one of the worst quarterback drafts in recent memory.

So, something tells me the trade route is the best option, but no matter what, the team is committed to a change.
