The start of OTAs is always exciting as fans get their first full look at the team after free agency and the draft. In terms of real information, there is usually very little to be had, but occasionally useful nuggets may be gleaned from short clips and interviews. One such find came from JP Finlay’s […]
Former Washington Redskins 6th-round draft pick Colt Brennan was a star in college at the University of Hawaii and brought that hype with him to Washington in 2008. Brennan was a cult sensation during his brief time here, and was the inspiration for the annual Mason/Brennan Preseason Hype! Awards here at Hogs Haven. Brennan passed […]

Odafe Oweh was a first-round NFL draft pick and an impactful pass rusher, but that hasn’t made him a household name. The Penn State product has 17.5 sacks over the past two seasons, and has been a terror off the edge, but it still might’ve been surprising when the Commanders paid him $100 million over four years earlier this spring. General manager Adam Peters is betting […]

Much of Washington’s post-draft talk has centered around finding a legitimate receiving option to pair opposite Terry McLaurin in David Blough’s new offense. There has been significant chatter about adding Brandon Aiyuk once he’s released from the death-grip John Lynch currently has on him. Although Aiyuk remains a realistic option, the pettiness to which San […]
Washington went all-in on their defensive line in late 2010s, taking one in the first round of four consecutive NFL drafts. Jonathan Allen came in 2017. Daron Payne was taken in 2018, with Montez Sweat in 2019 and Chase Young in 2020. Payne’s the only one left. Young was traded to San Francisco. Sweat was dealt to Chicago before getting paid. Allen spent eight […]
Myles Garrett was added to the Commanders schedule earlier this week. The Cleveland Browns weren’t suddenly part of Washington’s slate. Garrett became a future opponent after being traded to the Los Angeles Rams in a blockbuster deal made official on Monday. The Rams got Garrett. The Browns got young edge rusher Jared Verse, a 2027 first-round pick, a 2028 second-round pick […]

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 […]
Jayden Daniels was running around last week during Commanders OTAs, throwing darts to receivers all over the field. On-site reporters said he looked good executing new offensive coordinator David Blough’s scheme. 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 […]
