The Washington Commanders, recently ranked No. 18 in NFL offseason power rankings, look to improve from a disappointing 2025 season. After falling to a 5-12 record, marked by a lack of consistency and injuries to quarterback Jayden Daniels, the team made significant changes, signing 20 free agents for a total of $238.9 million. Daniels, who suffered injuries and missed 10 games last season, hopes to recapture his rookie form from 2024, which saw the team advance to the NFC championship game. While the defense receives most of the offseason attention, questions remain about the upgrades made to the offensive roster. The Commanders will aim to put their recent struggles behind them as they prepare for the upcoming season.
