The Chicago Bears’ special teams had some big moments in 2026, with Josh Blackwell winning NFC Player of the Week after his block in Las Vegas, and Cairo Santos winning it following his three field goals and onside kick performance against the Packers. And who can forget Jake Moody walking off the Commanders or Devin Duvernay’s last-minute […]

Yesterday, they released another prospect ranking, this […]

This time of year, there are always a few young players across the league that get contract extensions. Teams try to buy out a few free agent years at what they think will be cheaper costs, while players get long term security. Bobby Witt Jr., Jackson Merrill, Kristian Campbell and Keibert Ruiz are all young […]
In his introductory presser, newly appointed Washington Commanders defensive coordinator Daronte Jones was asked about what scheme he intended to implement. His answer: “It’s not how they line up, it’s how they wind up.” This left fans wondering what they might see come September. I know Jones is all about putting his players in the […]
Commanders links Articles Bullock’s Film Room (subscription) Commanders Free Agent Fits: Wide Receiver I will state up front that I’m not sure how aggressive the Commanders will be in free agency for a wide receiver. My gut feeling is that the team will take a shot on Brandon Aiyuk whenever the 49ers decide to release […]
The first piece of Nationals related content I saw was DJ Herz doing some throwing. This is great because it shows he is making progress in his Tommy John recovery. However, what interested me was the black band on his left elbow. Herz is not the only pitcher to be wearing one of these bands. […]
The 2026 NFL draft starts Thursday, April 23rd at 8 p.m ET, and will be broadcast live from Pittsburgh, PA.

Yesterday, Fangraphs released their top 100 prospect rankings. It is always interesting to see their rankings because they are not afraid to go against the grain. Eric Longenhagen always does a great job over there. At least when it came to Nats prospects, there were not any massive surprises. Eli Willits was ranked as the […]
Second round draft picks move around a lot and are usually not valued very highly. But, as things currently stand, it looks like the Washington Wizards will be selecting two or three players in the second round of the 2026 NBA Draft. Players drafted in the second round rarely end up factoring into a team’s […]
If you have followed the Nats at all over the past couple years, you would know that James Wood is not the most emotional guy. He is not one of those players that wear their heart on their sleeves. Wood is what you would call a slow heartbeat guy. However, Wood wants to make it […]

The Washington Wizards have signed Alondes Williams to a 10-day contract, the team announced Monday. Williams, 26, has averaged 20.2 points per game on 43.5% 3PT across 13 appearances with the Capital City Go-Go this season. The 6-foot-4 guard was recently named a G League All-Star. The Wake Forest product is an efficient 3-point shooter […]
Washington Wizards post Anthony Davis has yet to play a game for his new team. And he realistically won’t play again until the start of the 2026-27 season when the Wizards are poised to make the postseason for the first time since 2020-21, at least on paper. Davis has suffered a number of injuries in […]
After signing Cionel Perez a couple days ago, the Nats picked up another veteran reliever on an incentive-laden minor league deal. This time Paul Toboni and the Nats picked up Drew Smith, who was a mainstay in the Mets bullpen for a few years. From 2021 to 2024, Smith featured prominently in the Mets bullpen, […]
If this article is your first time hearing of Julian Fernández, I can’t blame you. The 30-year-old right-handed reliever was acquired in August off waivers from the Dodgers, and in 12.2 innings pitched with the Rochester Red Wings, he posted a 7.82 ERA and 5.47 FIP. He made his Nationals debut at the end of […]
After last season’s 5-12 finish, one thing is abundantly clear for Washington football fans. The team needs to add a significant amount of talent during the offseason. While Adam Peters will continue to use the draft, the Commanders GM will also have an estimated $82 million in cap space at his disposal after various projected […]
The Nationals finally made a free agent signing to their bullpen, bringing in Cionel Perez on a minor league deal. This is different from the other minor league deals they have signed, as Perez has a good chance of making the team. Before a disastrous 2025, Perez was a mainstay in the Orioles bullpen. If […]
Washington Wizards guard Trae Young is the team’s biggest acquisition since Will Dawkins became the team’s General Manager. However, Young has an MCL sprain in his right knee and has yet to play a game. It’s possible that he may not play until the start of the 2026-27 NBA season. So what are these injuries […]
Last July, the Washington Nationals made Eli Willits the youngest first overall pick ever. With more famous prospects like Ethan Holiday and LSU ace Kade Anderson available, it was a bit of a risky pick. However, after a strong pro debut, Willits’ stock is higher than it was on draft day. Despite ranking behind Holiday […]
With the NBA All-Star Game this long weekend, fans get to see an exhibition of the biggest stars in the league. As Washington Wizards fans, well, we know that our team won’t be in it. But at least it’s an interesting game to watch when players choose to put forth a decent effort. Anyway, this […]
