Brown to the New England Patriots for a 2027 5th round pick and a 2028 1st round pick. There has been tension between Brown and the Eagles organization for the past few seasons, but […]

Then he took to the podium and flashed that trademark smile, saying he’s healthy again and ready to put a “miserable” 2025 season behind him. The Commander quarterback is looking […]

Editor’s note: This isn’t a complete depth chart, but an examination of depth on the Commanders roster, omitting the starters/key players in each position group to focus on the reserves: It seems like decades ago that the Washington Commanders had a team this stacked. Much of the 2000s saw incredible roster mismanagement and a reliance […]
Commanders OTAs have begun, providing first looks at all the free-agent signings and NFL draft picks general manager Adam Peters invested in this offseason. Optimism reigns this time of year, especially for a franchise that went 12-5 and then 5-12 in consecutive seasons. The glory of an NFC championship game appearance is still fresh.

Mike Sainristil started training with Amik Robertson before they were Commanders teammates. Washington’s 2024 second-round pick was impressed by the veteran’s technique and savvy, and his willingness to put in work. Given that sentiment, Sainristil was thrilled when Washington signed Robertson to a two-year, $15 million contract this spring. Sainristil sent Robertson a simple question […]

Washington’s defense ranked in the NFL’s lower third last year, necessitating Joe Whitt Jr.‘s firing at the end of the season. Daronte Jones was brought in to correct the defensive issues, and Dan Quinn has asserted the new defensive coordinator will have full control to implement his own scheme. We previously looked at several coverage […]
Javon Kinlaw has never been shy about saying what’s on his mind, even if there’s a camera bank and hot mics in front of him. The Commanders’ defensive lineman was asked about his new-and-improved position group, and was so passionate about its upgrades that he dropped the quote of the spring (and maybe summer) trying to describe it.
