Art Monk retired as the NFL's leading receiver with 940 catches. Nobody else who plays for the franchise will wear that jersey number. The Commanders announced Tuesday that they are retiring the number Monk wore from 1980 until 1993, becoming the sixth player to have their number retired by the team. Monk retired after the 1995 season as the all-time leading receiver, now ranked 24th, and set a then single-season record with 106 receptions in 1984.
McLaurin is the primary receiving threat on the Commanders, leading with 117 targets in 2024, indicating his importance to the team's offensive strategy.
