Full disclosure: We won’t have boots on the ground in Ashburn, VA, for Tuesday’s OTA, so we’ll rely on Commanders beat reporters like Nicki Jhabvala, John Keim, JP Finlay, Zach Selby and Ben Standig to be our eyes, ears and question askers. Follow those respected reporters if you don’t already. The Washington Commanders are back on the practice fields of Ashburn for a […]
The Washington Commanders are starting their third round of organized team activities(OTAs) today, and new defensive coordinator Daronte Jones is up first at the mic before practice starts. Jones has been installing his defense, which is expected to pull from the scheme of his former boss, Vikings DC Brian Flores. Players have been buying into […]

The Commanders are working their way through their offseason program. We’re heading into the final week of OTAs, with a mandatory veteran mini-camp on the immediate horizon. We’ll hit the final OTA open to the media on Tuesday, with plenty to keep an eye on in this practice. We’ve learned plenty to this point, with a lot more to figure […]
One of the better position group battles that’ll take place over the summer and training camp belongs to the Commanders’ running backs. Kaytron Allen, Washington’s sixth-round draft pick, brings an element to the unit that is lacking in the absence of Chris Rodriguez Jr., and, before Rodriguez, even Brian Robinson Jr. Allen, albeit a shifty […]
I have been very vocal this offseason about new defensive coordinator Daronte Jones and head coach Dan Quinn really liking what the Commanders have at cornerback. Much of my optimism surrounding this unit was gleaned from my tea-leaf reading skills, and apparently these skills have not let me down. I stated many times that I […]
Editor’s note: We’ll count down the top 10 Commanders players on the 2026 roster regardless of position sporadically over the next few weeks. Before we get to it, here’s how we arrived at the ranking: Our Scott Bair, Scott Jennings and Mark Tyler compiled a top 13 – no ranking was identical — with points assigned to each ranking slot from all three lists. We used these point values to […]

Quentin Moore had a lot riding on his 2024 season. After beginning his college career at Independence Community College in 2019, Quentin enrolled at the University of Washington in 2021. He waited for his chance to start behind future NFL players Cade Otton, Devin Culp, and Jack Westover, with the majority of his snaps coming […]

Josh Conerly Jr.’s NFL draft profile listed him at 311 pounds. The Commanders had him at 315 shortly after selecting him at No. 29 overall in 2025, and the starting right tackle finished his rookie year at 318. That doesn’t seem like much of a shift, but the Oregon product wasn’t happy with the weight or his body composition at the […]

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 […]
