The Washington Commanders got things settled with Terry McLaurin , but there is still roster murkiness with the backup quarterback spot . Also, the Commanders faced tough choices, and here is their most surprising 53-man roster cut before the 2025 NFL season.

First, let’s talk about the elephant. The Commanders have the oldest roster in the NFL in at least 10 years. The average age is 28.1 years old.

So while Clelin Ferrell fits the age profile by turning 28 earlier this year, he didn’t make the cut. And that’s a surprise. The Commanders were his third team, so it’s not like he hasn’t been here before. He played for the Raiders and 49ers before. But he made 10 starts last year and seemed like a good bet to hang on to a roster spot.
