The Commanders released center Tyler Biadasz on Feb. 26, well before NFL free agency began. They didn’t sign a replacement during a period where they were flush with cap space and spent big in others areas of perceived need. Washington didn’t conclude free-agency’s early waves with a tight budget. They still have plenty of salary-cap space should they choose to use it. Washington […]
Dan Quinn was asked about the Commanders running back room and the competition. This type of question always prompts a list of names and traits associated with them, and Washington’s head coach obliged that type of response. He started with newcomer and fifth-year veteran Rachaad White. What he said was interesting. “I’ve been pleased with the additions […]

Following the selection of Antonio Williams in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, most of the analysis focused on whether the 5’11”, 187-pound Clemson Tiger could fill Washington’s need on the outside or Z position. Playing primarily in the slot for most of his college career, Adam Peters detailed how he believes Williams […]
The Washington Commanders wrapped up their third and final week of organized team activities (OTAs), and they’ve got mandatory minicamp next week before the long break until training camp starts later next month. The team gave members of the media access to their position coaches and special teams coordinator Larry Izzo over the last two […]
Nick Cross is a safety. Formally speaking, anyway. That’s what shows up on his football card, but it doesn’t completely describe what he plays. Cross plays all over the place. A detailed look at his 2025 snap counts, confirms that, with action coming at both safety spots, playing deep and in the box. He lined up as a slot cornerback and on the outside. There was also […]

With all the talk of a healthy Terry McLaurin, the new third-round rookie Antonio Williams and the possible addition of Brandon Aiyuk, many around these here parts have forgotten the name Luke McCaffrey. Well, that’s why you have me here… And like the lyrics to a great Green Day song: Where in the world’s the […]

“I told you that ball would find you!” This is what Terry McLaurin told Jaden Bradley after the undrafted wide receiver made a contested catch during 7-on-7 drills during last week’s OTA session. McLaurin had been working with him earlier in the day on his hand placement and releases, and the play caught the veteran’s […]
Linebacker Frankie Luvu’s position group looks a lot different than it did last year. Bobby Wagner is no longer in Washington, with the future Pro Football Hall of Famer still unsigned. Leo Chenal is around now after signing a three-year deal with the Commanders in free agency. So is Sonny Styles, an elite athlete taken No. 7 overall in this year’s […]

Washington Commanders coaches hogged the spotlight before Tuesday’s OTA practice, but the players got their turn with reporters after the session ended. Five players got official press conferences, and we’ve got soundbites from another five that got tracked down on the practice field. We will be breaking down some of those player interviews over the […]
Daronte Jones was hired to revamp the Commanders defense, to create an aggressive scheme that can set the tone. Washington’s new defensive coordinator came over from Minnesota, where he worked under respected play caller Brian Flores, who has a reputation for creating exotic blitzes that can disorient the opposition. There’s an expectation that Jones will develop something similar […]
Full disclosure: We won’t have boots on the ground in Ashburn, VA, for Tuesday’s OTA, so we’ll rely on Commanders beat reporters like Nicki Jhabvala, John Keim, JP Finlay, Zach Selby and Ben Standig to be our eyes, ears and question askers. Follow those respected reporters if you don’t already. The Washington Commanders are back on the practice fields of Ashburn for a […]

The Commanders are working their way through their offseason program. We’re heading into the final week of OTAs, with a mandatory veteran mini-camp on the immediate horizon. We’ll hit the final OTA open to the media on Tuesday, with plenty to keep an eye on in this practice. We’ve learned plenty to this point, with a lot more to figure […]
One of the better position group battles that’ll take place over the summer and training camp belongs to the Commanders’ running backs. Kaytron Allen, Washington’s sixth-round draft pick, brings an element to the unit that is lacking in the absence of Chris Rodriguez Jr., and, before Rodriguez, even Brian Robinson Jr. Allen, albeit a shifty […]
I have been very vocal this offseason about new defensive coordinator Daronte Jones and head coach Dan Quinn really liking what the Commanders have at cornerback. Much of my optimism surrounding this unit was gleaned from my tea-leaf reading skills, and apparently these skills have not let me down. I stated many times that I […]
