Commanders could turn to former Lions' starter to help fix OL mess

The Washington Commanders are currently facing an offensive line and centering problem, which could hinder their performance this season. This issue stemmed from a triceps injury to star left tackle Laremy Tunsil, which forced the team to make changes in their line-up. After Tunsil's injury, Brandon Coleman was brought in to replace him at left tackle. However, because of the injury, Chris Paul was forced to start at left guard, creating two significant problems at once.

In addition to the offensive line troubles, the Commanders also had a setback at the center position. GM Adam Peters released center Tyler Biadasz in February, believing he had a capable backup in veteran Nick Allegretti. Unfortunately, Allegretti suffered a calf strain on the first day of training camp, missing three weeks of practice before returning for a few days. He then suffered another injury, leaving the team with Julian Good-Jones and rookie Matt Gulbin as their only options.

Dan Quinn, the head coach, admitted that there is work to be done to determine the best course of action for the center position. The Commanders are hoping Allegretti will be ready for Week 1, but this might not be enough. The team needs a long-term solution, and one possible option could be to sign a veteran center with NFL experience.

Graham Glasgow, a 34-year-old 10-year veteran with 147 regular-season games and 136 starts, is one such candidate. Glasgow, who played both guard and center during his career, was recently released by the Lions, making him a potential candidate for the Commanders. However, signing Glasgow may not be easy, as he could demand a starting position, which might not be available in Washington.

Nonetheless, the pressure is on Adam Peters to find a solution to the mess he created and fix the Commanders' offensive and centering issues before the regular season begins.
