The Commanders have an open spot on their 53-man roster after making a trade.
The Washington Commanders and other teams across the NFL finalized their 53-man rosters on Tuesday. Just one day later, the Commanders are already making a move that will free up one spot for the franchise to work with prior to the season opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
On Wednesday afternoon, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Washington agreed to a trade with the New Orleans Saints. In the deal, the Commanders will be sending third-year defensive tackle John Ridgeway III and a 2025 7th-round pick in exchange for a 2025 6th-round pick from the Saints.Rumors began to surface earlier this week that the team was looking to move on from Ridgeway and they were able to strike a deal with the Saints.
The 25-year-old was even better last year. Ridgeway totaled a career-high 31 tackles and a pass deflection while seeing playing time in all 17 games. Washington had Ridgeway listed as the backup to Daron Payne at defensive tackle on the two-deep. That means we should be seeing a depth chart change and a roster additon or elevation in the near future for the Commanders.Lewis joined BucsGameday when it was founded in 2022.
