Washington Commanders schedule doesn’t favor a winning season

The NFL schedule has been out for over a week now, and we’ve done a lot of analysis covering a lot of different storylines for the Washington Commanders. They’re coming off a disappointing 5-12 season, that followed a 12-5 season and an appearance in the NFC Championship Game. That led to massive changes to the […]

Odafe Oweh, Sonny Styles among new players to impact Commanders defense

The Commanders simply had to improve their defense. Mostly because it couldn’t have performed worse in 2025.   That unit ranked dead last in yards per game (384.4 ypg), No. 31 in takeaways (10), No. 31 in red-zone defense (67.7%) and No. 27 in scoring defense (26.5 ppg).   That led to a complete overhaul, starting with coordinator Joe Whitt Jr.’s firing after the season. […]

Trey Amos among Commanders’ 2025 NFL draft picks to impact 2026 season

Adam Peters selected five players in the 2025 NFL draft. Commanders selections were lower in each round as a byproduct of the previous season’s trip to the NFC championship game.   Washington’s general manager came away with quality despite that fact, adding players capable of making an instant impact. That happened well beyond No. 29 overall pick Josh Conerly Jr., an offensive tackle […]

Why Washington Commanders should add veteran pass rusher A.J. Epenesa

Editor’s note: The Commanders remain flush with salary-cap space entering the meat of this offseason program. That doesn’t mean general manager Adam Peters has to spend, but he’s got options should he feel the need to fortify his already revamped roster. We’ll do some spending for him, suggesting some street free agents who could help Washington in this weeklong series. We’ve contemplated adding receiver Stefon Diggs and cornerback Rasul Douglas. In […]

Washington Commanders announce finalized 2026 preseason schedule

The Commanders preseason schedule is officially set. The date and time of Washington’s Week 2 exhibition against the Detroit Lions were the only details outstanding, and the team announced them on Tuesday afternoon.   They’ll play the Lions on Aug. 22 at noon ET in a game that will be broadcast locally on WUSA 9, the CBS […]

Why the Commanders should sign Rasul Douglas to compete with Mike Sainristil

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? […]

Why Commanders fans expect improvement in Washington 2026 NFL season

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 […]

Commanders schedule: Opponents predict Washington game-by-game results

You thought you were done with NFL schedule release content??? Think again. Our Scott Jennings had the Commanders going 10-7 in a season following as active a free-agency period as the franchise has ever had, plus a strong showing in the NFL draft.   What about the opposing view? We decided to crowdsource it.   Our findings were…predictable. The […]

Commanders Free Agency: CBs that could help Washington after roster cuts

In last week’s article, I had a look at five remaining free agent cornerbacks who could be upgrades over whichever of the Commanders’ current CBs is slated to start opposite from Trey Amos.  Today I’ll have a look at three CBs currently on other teams’ rosters who could become available at roster cutdowns. These guys […]
