The Commanders Shake Up Roster Ahead of Rookie Minicamp
The Commanders have wasted no time in making changes to their roster as they prepare for this weekend’s rookie minicamp. The team has announced the release of linebacker Brandon Bouyer-Randle, cornerback D’Angelo Mandell, and defensive end Joshua Pryor from their 90-man roster.
Of the trio, Pryor is the only player with regular season experience for the team, having recorded one tackle in seven appearances last season. Bouyer-Randle, an undrafted player out of UConn, was signed to the practice squad last November, while Mandell joined the squad in January.
With the Commanders drafting nine players and agreeing to terms with 11 undrafted free agents, it was necessary to make room for new additions to the roster. The upcoming minicamp will also feature tryout players, indicating that more roster moves could be on the horizon for the Washington team.
Implications for the Commanders
The decision to part ways with Bouyer-Randle, Mandell, and Pryor underscores the team’s commitment to building a competitive roster for the upcoming season. By clearing space for new talent, the Commanders are positioning themselves for success in a highly competitive league.
While it is never easy to see players leave the team, these moves are a necessary part of the business of professional football. The Commanders’ front office is focused on putting together the best possible roster to compete at the highest level.
Looking Ahead
As the Commanders gear up for the rookie minicamp, all eyes will be on the new additions to the roster and the tryout players vying for a spot on the team. With a mix of seasoned veterans and promising young talent, the Commanders are poised to make a statement in the upcoming season.
Stay tuned for more updates as the Commanders continue to shape their roster and prepare for the challenges that lie ahead.
