And according to Josina Anderson’s report Monday night, another one — the finale of Ron Rivera’s draft classes — could be on the way.

“I’m told the Commanders recently evaluated potential interest in 2023 first-round cornerback Emmanuel Forbes Jr. on the trade market,” Anderson sent a tweetciting anonymous sources for the report.

Speculation that Forbes might be on his way out has been constant since the offseason and reached an all-time high during training camp when the second-year corner seemed to struggle quite often during open practices.

The deadline for teams to accept trades is Tuesday, November 5 at 4 p.m. ET.
