The Commanders are absolutely scouring the quarterback market right now, and they just put UFL MVP Jack Plummer through a workout this week. You’d think an MVP getting a look means something big, right? Well, not exactly.
He Threw Well, But It’s a No-Go For Now
Washington brought free-agent quarterback Jack Plummer in on Wednesday morning. NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reported the whole thing, and get this: Plummer apparently “threw well.” You love to hear that from a guy looking for a shot, right? Except the Commanders aren’t planning to sign him at this time. Talk about a gut punch. The big reason? They’re not looking to put Marcus Mariota on injured reserve right now. So while Plummer showed out, it seems like the timing just isn’t there for a deal. But hey, Garafolo did say Plummer “could be a consideration down the road.” So, keep that on the back burner, I guess.
Plummer’s Been Making the Rounds After UFL MVP Run
So, who is Jack Plummer? He’s 26 years old, and he’s got some recent hardware: UFL MVP for the Orlando Storm. That’s no small feat, winning an MVP title in any league. Before his UFL heroics, Plummer also spent some time with the Carolina Panthers, so he’s had a taste of the NFL before. Clearly, teams are interested, even if they’re not signing him on the spot. Since the UFL season wrapped up, he’s also worked out for the New York Jets, the San Francisco 49ers, and the Miami Dolphins. He’s definitely getting looks, but nailing down that NFL roster spot is proving tough.
The Commanders are clearly keeping their options open and doing their due diligence on the quarterback front. Even though Plummer threw well and has an MVP award to his name, they’re not pulling the trigger on a signing just yet. It just means the search, for them, continues. Who else are they going to bring in for a look? This quarterback market is always wild.
