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 […]
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. So is last season’s disaster. The 2026 campaign’s trajectory is influenced […]

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. Though, to be honest, it’s not suitable for […]

Washington’s receiver need can be easily argued, with the addition of a secondary outside threat opposite Terry McLaurin making the Commanders offense an intimidator. Stefon Diggs and Brandon Aiyuk have been the assumed targets, with significant talk swirling around either of those additions. What about Buffalo’s Keon Coleman? An ESPN panel pondered a Coleman trade, among a […]
The Commanders NFL draft class has been working with its new team for some time. A group headlined by first-round linebacker Sonny Styles and third-round receiver Antonio Williams have been in meetings and on-field work, mostly conducted against air. Activity ramped up on Wednesday during the first of nine OTA practices that lead into a mid-June mandatory minicamp. […]

Washington made huge improvements on the defensive side of the football this offseason, turning over roughly half of last year’s starting lineup in favor of new blood. We have discussed at length how many of these changes will look come September, but one large unknown is how starting free safety Quan Martin will be deployed […]

This article was inspired by the discussion thread under an article I published early in the off-season. That article showed that Mike Sainristil was among the most productive CBs at intercepting the football in 2025, but was also well below average at rate of yardage allowed in coverage, and close to the worst in the […]
