Ex Commanders Receiver Can Help Save Former Top Pick

Dyami Brown had something of a breakout with the Washington Commanders last year, and now he's tasked with doing the same for the Jacksonville Jaguars.

On paper, Dyami Brown's fourth season with the Washington Commanders wasn't anything to get overly excited about. The former third-round pick caught 30 passes for just over 300 yards in 16 appearances last season.

Despite the low numbers, Brown earned a one-year, $10 million deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars in free agency.

Washington was able to upgrade easily when Brown walked. Early in the offseason, they traded for All-Pro receiver Deebo Samuel to bolster their receiving core.

However, Jacksonville isn't too concerned about what Brown brings to the table. They want to surround former top overall pick Trevor Lawrence with any semblance of competent receivers.

And multiple analysts are commending them for it. On the Move the Sticks podcast with Daniel Jeremiah, Bucky Brooks clarified how important Brown can be for Jacksonville.

"Brown, who joined via a one-year, $10 million pact this offseason, is the kind of deep-ball weapon this team desperately needed on the outside," Brooks continues. "It's true that his regular-season production has not matched his potential to this point; the 2021 third-rounder dwarfed previous career highs with just 30 catches and 308 receiving yards in Washington last season."

Brooks spoke glowingly about Brown's big-play ability over the last few years. With a new offensive-minded head coach in Liam Coen, the Jaguars should be able to use Brown's skill set well.

For Washington, there's a good chance they won't miss Brown. The passing game is as good as ever, and the receiving room has suddenly become rich with talent.
