There have been reports that ownership isn’t “putting handcuffs” on Ron Rivera and the Martys at the trade deadline. Rumors have been swirling around Montez Sweat and Chase Young, with Sweat being labeled as the more likely player to get moved.

But, a source said, they also wanted to see how Young’s knee responded after his 2021 surgery to repair a torn ACL and ruptured patellar tendon in his right knee. He returned to play the final three games of 2022. Washington would have entertained a trade for him before the draft, one source said, but the Commanders did not receive offers on Young.
Teams are also calling about Kendall Fuller
