"Massive changes are already underway in Washington. Kliff Kingsbury was replaced by new offensive coordinator David Blough, who has brought in a quarterbacks coach and assistant quarterbacks coach to work closely with Jayden Daniels. The Commanders are still seeking a defensive coordinator to replace Joe Whitt Jr., and the hire will inevitably implement scheme and staffing alterations once confirmed. Peters must do his part on the playing personnel side."
"The Commanders have plenty of cash to spend in free agency, which will increase further once the necessary sacrifices are made. But with only six picks in the 2026 NFL Draft - two of which are in the first four rounds - the margin for error is long gone. The Commanders haven't taken anything off the table. Peters would probably like to trade down for more capital,"
Massive coaching changes are underway, including Kliff Kingsbury's replacement by offensive coordinator David Blough and the addition of dedicated quarterbacks coaches to support Jayden Daniels. A defensive coordinator vacancy remains and will prompt scheme and staff changes. The roster front requires active personnel moves from general manager Adam Peters. Cap space is available for free-agency reinforcements but will grow only after necessary sacrifices. The team holds just six 2026 draft picks, including two in the first four rounds, shrinking margin for error and complicating any effort to trade down for additional capital. Caleb Downs emerges as a potential early target, though an edge rusher remains a top priority.
