The Washington Commanders released veteran tackle D.J. Humphries on Friday, making the player available as a free agent. Humphries spent time with the Los Angeles Rams during the 2025 season, where he appeared in eight games and made one start. Analysts suggest the Rams could pursue a reunion with the 32-year-old tackle to provide depth behind A.J. Jackson, especially given concerns regarding potential absences or suspensions. Humphries previously played under Rams assistant head coach Kliff Kingsbury, which could facilitate a quick transition should the team decide to sign him. While some speculate the Commanders may re-sign Humphries following roster adjustments related to veteran contract guarantees, his current status as a free agent allows other clubs to initiate contact. The Rams currently rely on 36-year-old David Quessenberry as their primary backup at the left tackle position.
