Slot receiver Adam Humphries is at the Washington Football Team’s facility now for a visit, per source. He played alongside Ryan Fitzpatrick in Tampa. Was also the Bucs’ punt returner when Nate Kaczor was their special teams coordinator.

Washington seemingly already made a big free-agent signing at the slot receiver position by adding Curtis Samuel to the roster last week, but they still have their eyes on another player at that position, bringing in free agent Adam Humphries for a visit this week.
Humphries is a viable slot receiver who has played with QB Ryan Fitzpatrick before and also worked as a punt returner for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers when Nate Kaczor was the special team’s coordinator. Kaczor is now in that same position with Washington.
If Washington were to sign Humphries, it would likely mean that the team plans to move Samuel to the outside and place Humphries in the ‘Y’ receiver position where he has thrived in his career. This could open up the offense a lot for Washington, with both Samuel and Terry McLaurin attracting attention outside and deep, while Humphries and TE Logan Thomas are able to work with room underneath.
We will see how the visit goes, but don’t be surprised to see another WR addition in the coming hours or days.
