Definitely didn't see this move coming. That makes two players that need to be released from the 53.

Commanders trying to trade DE John Ridgeway, TE Cole Turner

The Commanders have made a lot of changes to their roster since hiring General Manager Adam Peters this year and it looks like two more holdovers from last year are on their way out in Washington.

Heavy.com: ‘Teams Have Been Calling About’ Commanders Lineman"​

College nose tackle with the size and length for consideration along the interior or as an odd front defensive end. Ridgeway is more wrestler than gap-eater when taking on blocks as a nose. He's likely to be coveted by traits-based evaluators eager to develop the physical ingredients into a more polished product. While most of his experience has come at nose tackle, the sum of his parts might make more sense as a 3-4 defensive end, where his long arms and natural power would become more beneficial as an edge-setter. Regardless of position, he won't offer much help as a pass rusher, so rotational lineman with upside is likely to become his tag as a Day 3 prospect.

5th Round 2022 draft pick, cut by original team and picked up by Commanders on waivers, played some. State champion wrestler NT with low pass rush ceiling but potential as NT mauler type.

I would be surprised if this is more than a 7th or exchanging a 6th for a 7th sort of deal.

ETA: nailed the compensation at least.

Can he play OT or TE too? Otherwise this is another DA move that makes my head hurt....

I bet his RAS score is 1 brazillion...

I guess one big cornfed tatted sneaky athletic guy wasn't enough.

Interesting. Curious as to what they see in him. When he came out in draft, he was considered to be a good physical specimen who really did not put it together on the field. Low risk bet on his potential I guess.

I don't get this. It's easy to say "Khalen Saunders injury replacement" but that's a lazy analysis to me. Saunders has a short term injury and we typically play only three defensive tackles a game anyway because people like Jordan can kick inside situationally. Maybe they don't think Boyd is ready to play. Maybe they're just loading up because they absolutely love him and he doesn't cost much. Who knows?
