Commanders Casey Toohill making his case

Casey Toohill will be a free agent in 2024.

In three NFL seasons, Casey Toohill had accumulated only two quarterback sacks.

But Toohill has already registered three sacks in 2023.

The former Stanford Cardinal was drafted in the 7th round (233 overall) by the Eagles in the 2020 NFL draft.

Toohill signed his four-year deal in July, but then the Eagles released Toohill in October of 2020. The very next day, Washington claimed Toohill off of waivers. In on 8 Washington games, he contributed two assisted tackles and a QB hit.

The 6-foot-5, 254 defensive end registered two quarterback sacks and 12 quarterback hits over the next two seasons 2021-22 with Washington.

In this his fourth NFL season, Toohill is making the most of his opportunities. Appearing in each of the six games this season, Toohill has already registered three QB sacks, seven solo tackles, one assisted tackle, two tackles for a loss and four QB hits.

This past Sunday in Atlanta, Toohill collected his first two-sack NFL game.

Toohill is a free agent at the conclusion of the 2023 season. Might the Commander’s brass actually be wise to go ahead and resign Toohill to a veteran-friendly contract for something like three years?”
