Commanders Cut DT Daniel Wise; What's Next?

The Washington Commanders are shaking up their roster Saturday ahead of the team's final two games of the season.

According to The Athletic's Ben Standig, the Commanders are cutting fourth-year defensive tackle Daniel Wise.

Wise, 26, went undrafted in 2019 and signed on with the Dallas Cowboys for training camp. He spent his rookie season on the practice squad and never made an appearance in a game for the Cowboys before the team cut him in March 2020.

Wise had a brief time with the Arizona Cardinals practice squad in 2020, but failed to catch on before joining Washington ahead of the 2021 season.

Wise grew into a role with the Washington defensive line, making his NFL debut in 2021 and playing six games for the team. This season, he's appeared in 11 games, but has struggled to find playing time with Jonathan Allen, Daron Payne and sixth-round rookie John Ridgeway ahead of him on the depth chart.

By cutting Wise, the Commanders opened up a roster spot to sign defensive tackle David Bada, according to NFL Network. Bada played three games for Washington last season and has been on the practice squad for the entire 2022 season so far.

There is potential for Wise to re-sign with the Commanders practice squad if he clears waivers.
