What happened: Washington sent Julian Reese to Denver as part of a multi-team transaction involving Cam Whitmore and Tre Mann. His release removes him from Denver's developmental system.

Why it matters: Reese enters the offseason without a roster slot for the upcoming 2026-27 season. He had joined Washington on a two-way deal in February.

What to watch: Reese will look for another two-way contract or a training-camp opportunity before the season.
