The Commanders have just two practices left in this offseason program. There’s a minicamp practice on Wednesday afternoon and another on Thursday before players leave for a long break heading into training camp. It offered a perfect time for a progress report on how Washington’s defenders are learning coordinator Daronte Jones’ new scheme. “I feel pretty good about […]
K’Lavon Chaisson signed a one-year deal with the New England Patriots last spring, joining a squad that finished 4-13 and dead last in the AFC East. That’s not where they ended up in 2025. The Patriots went from worst-to-first during a remarkable transformation that spurned a playoff run all the way the Super Bowl. It was a learning experience for Chaisson, who had largely played on bad teams. The […]

The Commanders have reached the pinnacle of their offseason program. Veteran minicamp is nearly upon us, with a three-day practice session starting on Tuesday at the team’s training facility in Ashburn, VA. They’ve conducted a full strength and conditioning program and nine OTA sessions to this point. The Commanders still haven’t thrown the pads on, and won’t until late July, but we’ll reach new heights of activity over the next […]
Editor’s note: We’ll count down the top 10 Commanders players on the 2026 roster regardless of position sporadically over the next few weeks. Before we get to it, here’s how we arrived at the ranking: Our Scott Bair, Scott Jennings and Mark Tyler compiled a top 13 – no ranking was identical — with points assigned to each ranking slot from all three lists. We used these point values to […]

The United Bowl is live from the nation’s capital today as the hometown DC Defenders aim to go back-to-back and reclaim glory against the red-hot Louisville Kings at a sold-out Audi Field. Last weekend, the Defenders defeated the Orlando Storm in the sunshine state by a score of 28-22 to knock off the #1 seed, […]
Comparing Sonny Styles and Bobby Wagner seems like a dramatic overreach. One guy has never played an NFL snap. The other’s a six-time first-team All-Pro, 10-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl champ destined for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. While Wagner wasn’t close to vintage form in 2025 – he has lost a step or two (or three) – even Commanders fans can agree that […]
In this week’s Reacts survey, we asked a pair of questions about the predicted winner of the NFC East and Commanders projected playoff success. The results are slightly schizophrenic, with the Kool-Aid (or Flavor Aid, if you prefer) flowing strongly when it comes to predicting the division winner, but a lot less confidence about the […]

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 […]
