“I told you that ball would find you!” This is what Terry McLaurin told Jaden Bradley after the undrafted wide receiver made a contested catch during 7-on-7 drills during last week’s OTA session. McLaurin had been working with him earlier in the day on his hand placement and releases, and the play caught the veteran’s […]
Linebacker Frankie Luvu’s position group looks a lot different than it did last year. Bobby Wagner is no longer in Washington, with the future Pro Football Hall of Famer still unsigned. Leo Chenal is around now after signing a three-year deal with the Commanders in free agency. So is Sonny Styles, an elite athlete taken No. 7 overall in this year’s […]

Washington Commanders coaches hogged the spotlight before Tuesday’s OTA practice, but the players got their turn with reporters after the session ended. Five players got official press conferences, and we’ve got soundbites from another five that got tracked down on the practice field. We will be breaking down some of those player interviews over the […]
Daronte Jones was hired to revamp the Commanders defense, to create an aggressive scheme that can set the tone. Washington’s new defensive coordinator came over from Minnesota, where he worked under respected play caller Brian Flores, who has a reputation for creating exotic blitzes that can disorient the opposition. There’s an expectation that Jones will develop something similar […]
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.

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 […]
