The Washington Commanders head into the offseason with a big hole at linebacker. The Commanders have Jamin Davis, but Cole Holcomb is set to become a free agent next week.
The four-year starter has played in 50 career games for Washington, making 49 starts. A fifth-round pick out of North Carolina in 2019, Holcomb quickly found his way into the starting lineup due to Washington’s lack of linebacker depth.
Holcomb enters free agency at the wrong time for him. A foot injury in Week 7 ended Holcomb’s season, and he finished the year on injured reserve. Washington would like Holcomb to return as it felt he’d made strides as the inside linebacker last season.
Will the Commanders re-sign Holcomb or look elsewhere?
