The Washington Commanders, like every other NFL team, has some decisions to make regarding player personnel this offseason. They have a slew of impending free agents, many of whom will not be back, and they hope to fill those holes with talent that better fits their current roster.
One of the pieces the Commanders desperately need is more talent at wide receiver. Deebo Samuel is an impending free agent, and at the age of 30, the Commanders might just let him go. Treylon Burks is not on the same level as Samuel, leaving Terry McLaurin as the most reliable target for Jayden Daniels.
That’s not a viable solution for the offense, but Pro Football Focus has the answer. PFF believes the Commanders are an ideal landing spot for New York Giants wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson.
WR Wan’Dale RobinsonIdeal fantasy landing spot: Washington CommandersRobinson has been a featured part of Brian Daboll’s offenses in recent seasons. Daboll is now the offensive coordinator of the Titans, and Tennessee already has Chimere Dike as a promising young slot receiver.A potential landing spot for Robinson is the Commanders. Washington tried to find success with a veteran slot receiver last season with Deebo Samuel, but the Commanders have the salary cap space to aim for a younger slot receiver to help Jayden Daniels. Robinson led all wide receivers in receiving yards out of the slot last season at 675.
While Robinson would absolutely fill the hole left by Deebo Samuel, this is assuming that the Giants even let Robinson hit the free agency market. He was an integral part of the offense led by rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart in 2025, and the Giants are more likely to keep him than let him go.

However, the Giants’ lack of cap space is a problem. Robinson is coming off his rookie contract, and he has improved year-over-year since he was drafted. He had the same number of targets in 2024 and 2025, but had one fewer reception in 2025. He had 699 yards and three touchdowns in 2024, but in 2025, he had 1,014 yards and four touchdowns. The yards-per-reception went from 7.5 to 11.
Robinson will be sought after in free agency unless the Giants lock him in first. GM Adam Peters needs to keep a close eye on this and see if he can win the bidding war.
