Tyler Biadasz<\/a> had one year left on a three-year, $30MM contract. The Commanders are instead moving on early. They are releasing the veteran center, NFL.com\u2019s Ian Rapoport reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This move comes shortly after the team re-signed<\/a> Andrew Wylie<\/a>. Despite Wylie working as a backup last season and Biadasz being a starter throughout his two-year Washington stay, the latter is out. The former Cowboys draftee should generate immediate interest as a street free agent. Because of this release, Biadasz can sign anywhere immediately \u2014 whereas UFAs must wait until March 9 when the legal tampering period begins.<\/p>\n

A former fourth-round pick, Biadasz became a full-time starter for the Cowboys in his second season and parlayed that run into an eight-figure-per-year Commanders contract in 2024. Biadasz joined Dorance Armstrong<\/a> and Dante Fowler<\/a> in following Dan Quinn from Dallas that year. He missed only three games from 2024-25, giving the Commanders stability at center.<\/p>\n

Pro Football Focus viewed Biadasz as a middling center during his Washington tenure, ranking him 19th at the position in 2024 and 12th in 2025. The Commanders have used free agency to plug holes since Chase Roullier<\/a>\u2018s career ended early in the 2022 season. Roullier had been Washington\u2019s center from 2017-22. After giving Nick Gates<\/a> an opportunity in 2023, the Commanders pursued Biadasz in free agency.<\/p>\n

Because two void years are present in this contract, the Commanders are not in position to save much money. They are poised to add just $2.89MM in cap space and see $8.1MM in dead money. A post-June 1 release would spread the latter figure over two years; it would also keep Biadasz from becoming a free agent until the new league year begins March 11.<\/p>\n

This move comes after Biadasz suffered a knee injury on Christmas Day against the Cowboys. He finished the season on IR. The Wisconsin alum came up as a possible Commanders extension candidate weeks ago<\/a>, but the team instead will change course at snapper.<\/p>\n

The Commanders came into the day holding more than $73MM in cap space; this release will add a bit to that total. The Biadasz release follows the Titans\u2019<\/a> Lloyd Cushenberry<\/a> cut. Cushenberry disappointed on a big-ticket 2024 contract. Those two join Cade Mays<\/a>, Connor McGovern<\/a> and Ethan Pocic<\/a> among the Tyler Linderbaum<\/a> consolation prizes on this free agent market.<\/p>\n

Linderbaum is expected to break a center record<\/a> with his second contract. The rest of the crop will not be positioned to rival where the three-time Pro Bowler goes contractually. With 84 career starts and not being set to turn 29 until November, Biadasz will likely land another starting opportunity elsewhere soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tyler Biadasz had one year left on a three-year, $30MM contract.
