The Washington Commanders have a lot of uncertainty in their wide receiver room beyond Terry McLaurin.

While there are a lot of young players who could emerge, Washington may look upon a player looking to bounce back with their career.

Bleacher Report suggests that the Commanders should look into signing JuJu Smith-Schuster, who was recently cut by the New England Patriots.

"The Commanders' receiving corps leaves something to be desired. Smith-Schuster recently became available, which should pique the team's interest to give Daniels another veteran target to throw to," Bleacher Report writes. "While the wideout is coming off a down season, he's only two years removed from logging 78 catches for 933 yards with the Chiefs."

Even though Smith-Schuster struggled last season with just 290 receiving yards, he made the Pro Bowl in 2018 with the Pittsburgh Steelers and won a Super Bowl with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2022.

Smith-Schuster is in need of a fresh start, and adding someone like that to Jayden Daniels' target list may be exactly what both sides need.
