Washington Commanders sign former Wisconsin offensive lineman

Washington Commanders sign former Wisconsin offensive lineman

Former Wisconsin Badgers offensive lineman Michael Deiter and the Washington Commanders agreed on a contract Monday.

Deiter spent the 2023 NFL campaign with the Houston Texans, but he now joins his third NFL team. He will reunite with former Badgers teammate center Tyler Biadasz, who signed with the Commanders this offseason as well.

While in Madison, Deiter played all three offensive line positions (center, guard and tackle) between 2014-2018, starting alongside Biadasz. Deiter went on to be selected in the third round (78th overall) of the 2019 NFL draft by the Miami Dolphins. He’ll look to carve out a consistent role on Dan Quinn’s offensive line with the Commanders.

Former Dolphins OL lands in the NFC East

Former Dolphins OL finds new team in the NFC East..

While most Miami Dolphins fans are focused on who could be joining the team for the 2024 season and who have already committed to do so, it’s always good to keep up with some of the players who played for the team in years past to see where they end up.

One former Dolphins, offensive lineman Michael Deiter, is set to join a new team in 2024, as he’s agreed to a deal with the Washington Commanders.

Deiter, 27, was drafted by Miami in the third round of the 2019 NFL draft following a collegiate career at Wisconsin that included two First-team All-Big Ten seasons in his last two years.

The former Badger played four years for the Dolphins, appearing in 57 games for the team and starting 23. Deiter was originally a guard but started eight games at center in 2021.

Last year, Deiter played for the Houston Texans. After starting the season on the practice squad, he appeared in 16 games and started 10 for DeMeco Ryans’ team, mainly at center.

Commanders sign veteran OL Michael Deiter

The Commanders add another former Wisconsin All-American to the offensive line.

The Washington Commanders continue adding depth in the trenches. After signing center Tyler Biadasz and guard Nick Allegretti early in free agency and re-signing offensive tackle Cornelius Lucas last week, Washington added more help on Monday, signing veteran offensive lineman Michael Deiter.

The 6-foot-6, 315-pound Deiter played left guard alongside Biadasz for the Badgers, where he started at left tackle, left guard and center, earning All-American honors in 2018. He was also a two-time first-team All-Big Ten selection.

Deiter was a third-round pick (No. 78 overall) in the 2019 NFL draft by the Miami Dolphins. As a rookie, Deiter played in all 16 games with 15 starts. He played all 16 games in 2020 as a backup and started all eight games in which he played in 2021. In 2022, he again appeared in all 17 games for Miami, departing for Houston in 2023.

Deiter appeared in 16 games for the Texans last season, making 10 starts at left guard and center.

Deiter gives the Commanders another veteran who can not only provide depth, but compete with Allegretti to start at guard. GM Adam Peters continues to bring in players with experience who, if not starting, can give Washington the kind of depth it’s lacked for years.

We’re looking at the Baltimore Ravens updated depth chart of ahead of the Divisional Round playoff matchup vs. the Houston Texans

We’re a little over five away from the Ravens (13-4) and Texans (11-7) kicking off the AFC divisional round of the playoffs on ESPN.

Houston advanced to the Divisional round of the NFL playoffs for the fifth time in franchise history with a 45-14 win over the Browns in Super Wild Card Weekend.

The playoff win earned the Texans a rematch against the Ravens, and they’ll return to M&T Bank Stadium hoping to avenge a 25-9 loss in Week 1.

Baltimore has ruled out Marlon Humphrey for the contest, while Pro Bowl tight end Mark Andrews won’t be active after being listed as questionable.

With Humphrey out, Brandon Stephens and Ronald Darby are the likely starting cornerbacks against C.J. Stroud, Nico Collins and the Texans’ dynamic passing attack. Darby has made seven starts this season, as Humphrey will miss his eighth game.

Outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney returned from an illness that kept him out of practice Wednesday and told reporters he’ll play. Wide receiver Zay Flowers (calf) and outside linebacker Odafe Oweh (ankle) also both returned to full practice and said they’ll suit up.

With kickoff fast approaching, here’s a projected two-deep depth chart for Baltimore.
