The Washington Commanders are considered likely landing spots for free-agent WRs, including Brandon Aiyuk. The team has made recent additions to their wide receiver lineup but still lacks a solid No. 2 option.

The Washington Commanders have added to their wide receivers room this offseason, but the team still has more work to do.
The Commanders reunited with Dyami Brown and Treylon Burks, and they inked Van Jefferson in free agency. In the 2026 NFL Draft, Antonio Williams was taken in the third round to further bolster the room behind No. 1 target Terry McLaurin.
But none of those wide receivers are a legit No. 2 option, and it remains to be seen if Brandon Aiyuk will ever get cut by the San Francisco 49ers so the Commanders can scoop him up. Even if that happens, Aiyuk is hardly a sure thing himself after not playing at all last season.
The Commanders have signed Dyami Brown, Treylon Burks, and Van Jefferson this offseason.
Brandon Aiyuk's future with the San Francisco 49ers is uncertain, as there are discussions about whether he will be cut.
Terry McLaurin is currently the No. 1 target for the Washington Commanders.

In order to remedy the situation, the New York Post's Ryan Dunleavy thinks general manager Adam Peters and Co. could turn to former 49ers wideout, Jauan Jennings, who remains available on the open market.
Word is that Jennings, 28, overpriced himself in a market where five receivers secured at least $14 million per year, including his 49ers replacement Mike Evans. A physical run blocker, Jennings totaled 55 catches for 643 yards and nine touchdowns in 15 games.
Jennings already is visiting the Vikings, the Raiders didn’t draft a pass catcher for No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza until the sixth round, and the Commanders need a No. 2 receiver.
As Dunleavy notes, it's clear Jennings did not get what he was looking for on the open market, hence his availability at this late stage in free agency.
Putting that aside for now, Jennings, who was with Peters when he was in San Francisco, would be just what the doctor ordered for the Commanders.
Jennings had a down season in 2025, posting 643 yards, but he also scored nine touchdowns, showing just how deadly he can be in the red zone.
Even with those lackluster numbers, which were likely at least partly a result of his dealing with several injuries during the season, Jennings would've had the second-most receiving yards if he was on the Commanders in 2025.
For Jennings' best season, we have to go back to 2024, when he notched a career-high 975 receiving yards to go along with six touchdowns. Those numbers show Jennings is capable of being a very good No. 2 in an offense.
If the Commanders can secure Jennings and Aiyuk and combine them with McLaurin, they'll be good to go for the 2026 campaign.
