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...

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 […]

Commanders minicamp preview: Jayden Daniels, Sonny Styles and more

The Commanders have reached the pinnacle of their offseason program. Veteran minicamp is nearly upon us, with a three-day practice session starting on Tuesday at the team’s training facility in Ashburn, VA.   They’ve conducted a full strength and conditioning program and nine OTA sessions to this point. The Commanders still haven’t thrown the pads on, and won’t until late July, but we’ll reach new heights of activity over the next […]

UFL United Bowl Preview: DC Defenders vs Louisville Kings

The United Bowl is live from the nation’s capital today as the hometown DC Defenders aim to go back-to-back and reclaim glory against the red-hot Louisville Kings at a sold-out Audi Field. Last weekend, the Defenders defeated the Orlando Storm in the sunshine state by a score of 28-22 to knock off the #1 seed, […]

Commanders Dan Quinn details key trait Sonny Styles, Bobby Wagner share

Comparing Sonny Styles and Bobby Wagner seems like a dramatic overreach.   One guy has never played an NFL snap. The other’s a six-time first-team All-Pro, 10-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl champ destined for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.   While Wagner wasn’t close to vintage form in 2025 – he has lost a step or two (or three) – even Commanders fans can agree that […]

Commanders picked to win NFC East title in 2026 – survey results

In this week’s Reacts survey, we asked a pair of questions about the predicted winner of the NFC East and Commanders projected playoff success. The results are slightly schizophrenic, with the Kool-Aid (or Flavor Aid, if you prefer) flowing strongly when it comes to predicting the division winner, but a lot less confidence about the […]

What makes Nick Allegretti confident he can thrive as Commanders center

The Commanders released center Tyler Biadasz on Feb. 26, well before NFL free agency began. They didn’t sign a replacement during a period where they were flush with cap space and spent big in others areas of perceived need. Washington didn’t conclude free-agency’s early waves with a tight budget. They still have plenty of salary-cap space should they choose to use it.   Washington […]
