Leo Chenal on why he chose Commanders, Daronte Jones, Sonny Styles

Leo Chenal surveyed the NFL landscape and his market developing in free agency. Washington sure looked like a good one.   The Commanders placed a three-year, $24.5 million contract before him. The organization looked solid despite a rocky 2025 season, with an NFC runners-up finish the year before. New coordinator Daronte Jones was installing an […]

The 4 most intriguing non-NFC East Commanders games of 2026

It’s 5 o’clock somewhere… The 5 O’Clock Club The 5 o’clock club is published from time to time during the season, and aims to provide a forum for reader-driven discussion at a time of day when there isn’t much NFL news being published.

Commanders CB Mike Sainristil poised for 3rd-year leap – survey results

In this week’s Reacts survey, we asked two questions, both focused on predicting on-field performance for Washington players who are not currently considered elite or who may not yet be on the Commanders roster. Question 1: Which WR not named McLaurin will have the most receptions for the Commanders in 2026? I think the results […]

Commanders Antonio Williams growing with Jayden Daniels, Terry McLaurin

Antonio Williams carries high expectations despite being a third-round NFL draft pick. The former Clemson receiver is expected to make a profound and instant impact on the Commanders in 2026 despite his draft slot, likely because of his college production and his position group’s perceived weakness.   There’s also a bunch of hype around him, […]

Commanders UDFA spotlight: former Michigan State safety Malik Spencer

Malik Spencer is a rarity amongst Washington Commanders undrafted free agents. The four-year senior spent his entire college career at Michigan State with no transfers and never received a redshirt or an additional COVID year. A three-star recruit out of high school, he originally committed to the University of Colorado with former MSU head coach […]

How Commanders OT Laremy Tunsil is helping Josh Conerly Jr. progress

Josh Conerly Jr. doesn’t look like he did last year. That’s not to say last year’s first-round draft pick was a slouch during his rookie campaign. The right tackle from Oregon played relatively well. He was already built right, but there’s something different about his body composition and his mindset heading into the 2026 campaign.   That’s no coincidence.   Conerly spent a large chunk of his offseason working with elite Commanders left tackle Laremy Tunsil, […]

How Daronte Jones will attack with new Commanders EDGE Odafe Oweh

Odafe Oweh recently discussed how he loved Commanders defensive coordinator Daronte Jones’ defensive style, because of he attack mentality it brings. Oweh was signed to a $96-million contract that has $68 million guaranteed, of which $50.6 million is fully guaranteed at signing. Washington’s significant investment indicates that Adam Peters views him as a key player […]

Dan Quinn: K’Lavon Chaisson among standouts from Commanders minicamp

Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn held his final press conference of the Commanders offseason program on Thursday, speaking for more than 20 minutes before the team exited for a prolonged break heading into the summer. The team accomplished a ton during the spring, following some major free agent acquisitions and a productive NFL draft. […]

Washington Commanders News: Sights and Sounds from Mandatory Minicamp Day 3

The Washington Commanders are back on the practice fields of Ashburn, VA for the third, and final, day of mandatory minicamp. There were three days scheduled, and they were all open to the media. We’re going to bring you all the action from each day’s practice! Last day of minicamp: Colson Yankoff: Sam Hartman —-> […]

Dan Quinn discusses Commanders RBs Bill Croskey-Merritt, Rachaad White

The Commanders don’t necessarily have a feature running back. Those guys don’t exist much anymore these days, anyway, with rare exceptions.   Bijan Robinson. Saquon Barkley. Derrick Henry. Jonathan Taylor. Even James Cook.   Most teams don’t have a guy like that. Even Jahmyr Gibbs in Detroit has a David Montgomery. A tandem or by-committee rushing approach is more common than not these days.   That sure seems to be the case in Washington. […]

Commanders News: Did Jayden Daniels hint at summer practice with Aiyuk?

Commanders RB Bill Croskey-Merritt determined to level up in 2026

Commanders running back Bill Croskey-Merritt had a solid rookie season, well beyond expectations for a seventh-round NFL draft pick taken No. 245 overall.   Totaling 805 rushing yards at 4.6 per carry and eight touchdowns(!!) is solid for anyone entering the NFL, especially on an offense that struggled without oft-injured Jayden Daniels.   That’s why what Croskey-Merritt said on Wednesday was somewhat surprising.   “Being way […]

How Commanders QB Jayden Daniels has ramped up leadership entering 2026

Jayden Daniels was asked about his individual goals for the upcoming Commanders season.   The third-year quarterback’s answer was simple, to the point and didn’t include a single stat.   “Win football games.”  There was then a brief pause in the Wednesday afternoon press conference, as if Daniels was expected to say more. Nope. That was it.   The stats don’t matter. The wins do. They normally go together, with quality quarterback totals generating team success, but we understand Daniels’ under...

Washington Commanders Mandatory Minicamp: Jayden, Antonio, and Bill

Dan Quinn got the day off from the media, but he’ll be back in front of the microphone before tomorrow’s third, and final, practice of the Washington Commanders mandatory minicamp. We heard from several players after yesterday’s practice, and today we get a few of the team’s best players, Jayden Daniels, Bill Croskey-Merritt, and Laremy […]

Why Sonny Styles, Commanders consider Daronte Jones’ scheme easy to grasp

The Commanders have just two practices left in this offseason program. There’s a minicamp practice on Wednesday afternoon and another on Thursday before players leave for a long break heading into training camp.   It offered a perfect time for a progress report on how Washington’s defenders are learning coordinator Daronte Jones’ new scheme.   “I feel pretty good about […]

What K’Lavon Chaisson brings Commanders from Patriots’ Super Bowl run

K’Lavon Chaisson signed a one-year deal with the New England Patriots last spring, joining a squad that finished 4-13 and dead last in the AFC East. That’s not where they ended up in 2025.   The Patriots went from worst-to-first during a remarkable transformation that spurned a playoff run all the way the Super Bowl.   It was a learning experience for Chaisson, who had largely played on bad teams. The […]
