NFL insider names Commanders CB Mike Sainristil as potential trade option for NFC rival
Could Commanders cornerback Mike Sainristil be on the move? It makes sense.
NFL insider Albert Breer has named Washington Commanders cornerback Mike Sainistil as a potential trade option for an NFC rival team. Sainistil, a 2024 second-round pick, was once considered a Pro Bowl candidate, but his performance has declined significantly this season. The Commanders, currently at 2-4-1, are in a precarious position as they sit 2.5 games behind the New York Giants in the NFC East.
While they may look to add talent, they could also trade a player or two. Sainistil, who starred at Michigan and helped them win the 2023 national championship, has started just two games this season and has mostly been on special teams. A move to Detroit could provide Sainistil with a fresh start, and a return to Michigan would give him a familiar environment.
