Every NFL team’s most surprising cut candidate

Washington Commanders — Logan Thomas

It’s a brand new world in the nation’s capital, with a new ownership group led by Josh Harris. Ron Rivera is still the man in charge, but he has a seat as hot as anyone. The old guard is out, and that could mean the end of Logan Thomas, who has been holding on to hope while dealing with injuries. The tight end showed flashes in 2020, and we’ve been waiting for it to come to fruition ever since.

The Commanders need the best possible weaponry around quarterback Sam Howell. The former North Carolina product was alright last season, but he hardly builds confidence for the fanbase. It helps to have a receiver like Terry McLauren and Jahan Dotson catching balls. Curtis Samuel is here right now, but he seems like a pretty confident cut candidate. Could Thomas be close to unemployed with him?

There is one thing that could save Logan Thomas. Armani Rogers, who would be the most logical replacement for Thomas, ruptured his Achilles tendon just a few weeks ago.

Maybe the Commanders could sign another tight end? There were a lot of really good tight ends in the draft, which could make other tight ends available through cuts and trades. The Commanders could look for a player who is less injury prone. Rivera is trying to prove his worth with Sam Howell under center. If the Commanders lose Thomas after already losing Rogers, they’d be in a really bad spot at the position.
