Cornerback seemed like a clear and obvious Commanders need heading into the NFL Draft. General manager Adam Peters didn’t take one with any of his six selections. We may have had a different discussion had the Kansas City Chiefs not traded up to take LSU’s Mansoor Delane at No. 6 overall, but we’ll never know what Peters would have done. Delane or Sonny Styles? […]

Washington’s defense ranked in the lower third of the NFL last year, necessitating the mid-season demotion, and eventual firing of DC Joe Whitt Jr. at end of the season. Daronte Jones was brought in to correct the issues with the defense, and Dan Quinn has asserted the new defensive coordinator will have full control of […]
Editor’s note: Most of Washington’s offseason moves have been made. General manager Adam Peters may have a few more tricks up his sleeve, especially with a salary-cap cushion available to him. We at Hogs Haven have some suggestions about how to spend his extra cash in this “Commanders should sign” series. In this installment, we make a case for receiver Stefon Diggs […]
The results are in. Commanders fans are optimtistic about a return to prominence after a disappointing 5-12 campaign in 2025. Does that mean we all expect a return to the NFC championship game? Probably not. Our poll results indicate that Commanders optimism is appropriately measured, with a belief Washington will be better than last season’s 5-12 disaster without assuming they’re headed for a division crown. That’s appropriate, even […]

You surely read this story’s headline before clicking on it. If you mysteriously ended up here, then glance up for a sec. Are Adams Peters’ Washington Commanders better than they were a year ago?

The Commanders have made great efforts to upgrade the defensive front seven this offseason in free agency and the draft. Compared to the massive investment directed toward those position groups, relatively little was done to address the roster deficiencies in the secondary, and the cornerback room, in particular.
