The Commanders re-signed cornerback Antonio Hamilton Sr. and made adjustments to their offensive line and safety unit, including the signing of Nick Cross.
Frankie Luvu struggled with injuries that limited his effectiveness, impacting his role on the Commanders' defense during the 2025 season.
Will Harris is expected to improve next season after dealing with injuries that hindered his performance in 2025.
Key players include Larmey Tunsil, Josh Conerly Jr., and Brandon Coleman, with a solid left side of the line returning for the upcoming season.

Bryan DeArdo of CBS Sports gave one reason why all 32 teams should be optimistic. For the Commanders, DeArdo said Washington should be optimistic about its “significant offseason upgrades.”
After a disappointing 2025 season, the Commanders put themselves in position to mirror the success they had in 2024, when they advanced to the NFC title game.
Washington overturned its defense this offseason. Six defensive players acquired during free agency are projected starters. They then hit a home run during the draft when they selected linebacker Sonny Styles, whose brilliant play at Ohio State helped the Buckeyes capture a national title in 2024.
The Commanders also gave Jayden Daniels some new weapons in former Buccaneers running back Rashaad White and rookie wideout Antonio Williams. San Francisco 49ers wideout Brandon Aiyuk could certainly land there, too. The Commanders had one of the NFL’s worst defenses last season. Now, that entire side of the ball is younger, faster and better. It’s way too soon to tell what that means in terms of wins and losses, but it can’t be any worse. Offensively, it was about giving Jayden Daniels more help. Third-round wide receiver Antonio Williams will be a significant part of the offense as a rookie, as will Chig Okonkwo, who signed a three-year deal in March. The Commanders also brought back wide receiver Dyami Brown, who had a nice connection with Daniels in 2024.
Episode 1,323 – Guest: @Coach\_Grisham on Antonio Williams. Coached him for four seasons at Clemson. Terrific insight.
Guest: @GregFinberg. Great perspective on what the Wizards getting the No. 1 pick means for the team & what they should do with the pick.

**Blogging the Boys**
Dallas has played Philadelphia twice on Thanksgiving in the past, it hasn’t gone in their favor. The Eagles beat the Cowboys 27-0 in 1989 in the infamous “Bounty Bowl” during Hall of Famer Jimmy Johnson’s first season as head coach in Dallas. Their last matchup on Turkey Day came in 2014 when the Eagles won 33-14. This decade, the Cowboys and Eagles have split their 12 meetings. They’ve split the season series four times over those six years, and each team has swept the other once. With this game landing on Thanksgiving, it’s likely that NFC East and playoff implications will be heavily involved. The Cowboys and Eagles should be the favorites to win the division heading into the 2026 season.

— Washington Commanders (@Commanders) May 11, 2026 When @Mitch\_Tischler is on the show, you have to ask about the offensive line 😂.
I thought he did a great job explaining the importance of the center position in a "under the center" based offense.

— George Carmi (@Gcarmi21) May 12, 2026 Steelers have agreed to terms with K Chris Boswell on a four-year, $28 million extension. The $7 million average per year ties him with Brandon Aubrey for highest paid kicker in NFL history, per CAA Football. Boswell is now locked in with the Steelers through the 2030 season.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) May 11, 2026 using last year's records to calculate this year's strength of schedule is great…assuming you don't care about:
– free agency & all the players on new teams – the 10 new head coaches this year – the 38 new OCs and DCs this year – the NFL Draft – injuries last year that…

(and the data to support why it's better)
— Warren Sharp (@SharpFootball) May 11, 2026 NFC teams have 9 home games this season, thus they will be the “home” team for all the international games.
Jaguars are always the exception.
— Andrew Siciliano (@AndrewSiciliano) May 11, 2026 Schedule note: The NFL is expected to have Saturday games in Weeks 15, 16, 17, and 18 this season, and then continue with Saturday games during the Wild Card and Divisional rounds like usual.
That means six consecutive weeks of NFL games on Saturdays.
