"The Washington Commanders were among the NFL's biggest underachievers in 2025. It was a deeply disappointing campaign, bringing everyone associated with the franchise crashing back down to earth after their remarkable run to the NFC Championship game in head coach Dan Quinn's first season at the helm. Now, it's time to refresh, refocus, and do what's necessary to get this ambitious project back on track toward prosperity."
"When the Washington Commanders gave defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw a three-year, $45 million contract with $30 million guaranteed, the move was mocked by fans and experts alike. One year later, the decision already looks like a grave error of judgment. Kinlaw's brash talk wasn't backed up much on the field. He failed to record a single sack, and his lack of consistency mirrored what the former South Carolina standout has endured throughout his career to date. It became an ongoing source of frustration,"
The Washington Commanders severely underperformed in 2025, reversing momentum from their NFC Championship run during Dan Quinn's first season. The team has hired two new coordinators after parting ways with Kliff Kingsbury and Joe Whitt Jr., and general manager Adam Peters plans substantial roster changes. Peters enters the offseason with only six 2026 draft picks but potentially roughly $100 million for free agency, creating pressure to maximize resources. Several contractual dilemmas loom, including expected releases and complex retention decisions. Defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw's three-year, $45 million deal produced no sacks and has become a prominent source of frustration.
