Washington Commanders urged to acquire 3x Pro Bowl player
Last year, the Washington Commanders came out of nowhere to nearly conquer the NFC and make an appearance in the Conference Championship. Of course, getting new leadership, such as head coach Dan Quinn and quarterback Jayden Daniels, surely helped. But now the Commanders have the tough task of trying to do even better than last season, and they may need a bit more help to accomplish their goals. Advertisement Recently, Bleacher Report's Matt Holder had a suggestion for the Commanders to upgrade their roster. Specifically, he wants to see Washington sign free agent pass-rusher Za'Darius Smith to a one-year contract. 'The Commanders are striving to take advantage of Jayden Daniels' rookie contract by adding veterans to push for a Lombardi Trophy. However, Dante Fowler, who led the team in sacks with 10.5 sacks last year, returned to the Dallas Cowboys during free agency. So, the Commanders defense could use a pass-rusher to help replace that production.' Bleacher Report on Washington Commanders/Za'Darius Smith For now, the Commanders are trusting that they have enough pass-rush juice already on hand. However, as we've seen before, the team could get to camp and realize they need a bit of a push. Other times, injuries throw a wrench into a team's plans. Either way, signing the three-time Pro Bowl player could provide the exact type of boost the Commanders are looking for. After recording nine sacks split between the Cleveland Browns and Detroit Lions, it appears the 32-year-old still has plenty of tread on his tires, and his next stop could very well be D.C.

Bears Predicted to Land Star Divisional Rival Defender in Free Agency
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Chicago Bears have a brand-new coaching staff led by former Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson. Johnson has the tall task of taking a 5-12 team and leading them to a positive record and playoff berth. More news: Aaron Rodgers Hosts Private Workout With Steelers Offense While the Bears have a solid team, they still have a huge lack on the defensive end side of things. Dayo Odeyingbo and Montez Sweat are solid players, but not enough to make believers out of fans and pundits. The Bears' defense was one of the worst in 2025 in allowing rushing yards, with the league's fifth-worst, allowing 136.6 yards per game on the ground. The pass rush was dead center, allowing 217.9 yards per game in the passing category.

DETROIT, MICHIGAN - JANUARY 18: Defensive end Za'Darius Smith #99 of the Detroit Lions rushes the passer during the first half of the NFC Divisional Playoff game against the Washington Commanders, at Ford Field on January 18, 2025 in Detroit, Michigan. MoreMore news: Fans React to Minkah Fitzpatrick Training Video Ahead of Dolphins Return Simply put, the Bears need pass rushers, and they did not acquire anyone new during free agency. That means they could go for a proven veteran, and may look to none other than a divisional rival. NFL insider Albert Breer not only predicted the Bears may address their pass rush woes, but also indicated they could target former Detroit Lions star Za'Darius Smith. "I think that's all relative to what's out there. So they'll get a look at D'Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson at running back, and Montez Sweat and Dayo Odeyingbo (who plays some inside on passing downs) on the edges when the pads go on, and then maybe consider guys such as Jamaal Williams at running back or Za'Darius Smith or Matthew Judon as edge rushers," Breer wrote. Smith would be a solid contributor and a clear upgrade. He secured nine sacks with the Lions and Cleveland Browns in 2024, but was released by the Lions in March. It is a bit strange that he has not been picked up by any team, and it is believed that he won't wait long to join a new team. Granted, the Bears might want to see what their defense can do in training camp and preseason, but if the pass rush is not where it needs to be, they might choose to call Smith and see if they can strike a deal with the All-Pro. Newly promoted defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard needs to evaluate the group during training camp, and improving the pass rush and defensive end situation should be at the top of the list in terms of red flag issues. Smith is also a consummate pro and would be valuable to any roster. The Bears signing him after his time with the Lions would be fantastic.
