There’s been a lot of discussion about ongoing offseason needs in Washington over the past few months, and the lion’s share of that conversation has centered around two position groups: offensive line and linebacker. This piece is intended to extend the dialogue around the former unit.
In 2021, while playing against Washington for the Giants, center Nick Gates broke both the bones in his lower left leg, later endured seven surgeries to repair the damage, and worked his way back to starting eight games for New York in 2022. He was signed by Washington this offseason to a 3-year, $16.
