"Things always get weird during an NFL season. If someone had told you that the Washington Commanders would go from a laughingstock to the NFC Championship game in the first year under head coach Dan Quinn, they'd have been laughed out of the building. But it happened. Anything and everything could happen on any given Sunday. Expectations might be higher for the Commanders this time around, but there are guaranteed to be some expected occurrences throughout what promises to be another fascinating campaign."
"The Commanders received their fair share of criticism for signing Javon Kinlaw to a three-year, $45 million deal that included $30 million guaranteed. Not many thought the imposing defensive lineman did enough to warrant this financial commitment, but Adam Peters is confident he can get some bang for his buck. Kinlaw's left a positive impression this offseason. He's been lining up on the interior and as a defensive end in NASCAR packages. It's a long shot, but perhaps this could see the former first-round pick lead the team in sacks."
"Kliff Kingsbury restored his reputation last season by leading a high-octane offense to great things throughout the campaign. Fans are expecting something similar this time around, especially considering the concerted effort to build around quarterback Jayden Daniels this offseason. If everything clicks, and it's a big if, the Commanders could lead the league in touchdowns."
The Washington Commanders made a dramatic rise to the NFC Championship under head coach Dan Quinn and enter 2025 with raised expectations. The team signed Javon Kinlaw to a three-year, $45 million deal with $30 million guaranteed, and coaches have been using him inside and in edge packages, creating a chance he could lead the team in sacks. Kliff Kingsbury aims to sustain a high-octane offense built around Jayden Daniels, which could push the Commanders to lead the league in touchdowns if it all clicks. Deebo Samuel Sr. looks poised to respond to offseason criticism and contend for All-Pro honors.
