The Washington Commanders laid their cards on the table with the signing of tight end Chig Okonkwo. They made a decent financial commitment to the free agent, which suggests new offensive coordinator David Blough sees a big role for the player within his schematic concepts.
And during his introductory press conference, Okonkwo spilled the tea on what sort of offense Blough could be running in Washington.
The Commanders needed more explosiveness in the tight end room. Okonkwo provides precisely that, signing a three-year, $30 million deal. He was arguably the best tight end option on the market, and general manager Adam Peters struck with conviction to get him into the franchise.
