"There is a lot going on with the Minnesota Vikings right now. They shocked the NFL world by firing general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah extremely late in the hiring cycle, and they will not be seeking a permanent replacement until after the 2026 NFL Draft. Not the conventional approach, but those in power believed it was necessary. Rumors of a disconnect on how to move forward at the quarterback position were rife in the firing's immediate aftermath."
"It's something the Commanders could capitalize on by signing veteran linebacker Eric Wilson if the money works for all parties. Fans will probably roll their eyes at seeing another aging second-level presence. Wilson will turn 32 during the 2026 season. There is a desperate need for Washington to get younger and more explosive across the board. Even so, for the money it would probably take to get him into the building, it deserves consideration."
Washington needs significant defensive personnel upgrades to give Daronte Jones the best chance to implement his plans. The new coordinator may seek familiar faces to smooth a critical transition. The Minnesota Vikings recently fired general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah late in the hiring cycle and will defer selecting a permanent replacement until after the 2026 NFL Draft. Rumors emerged of a quarterback-direction disconnect after the team chose J.J. McCarthy over Sam Darnold. The Commanders could pursue veteran linebacker Eric Wilson in free agency; Wilson posted 6.5 sacks and 115 tackles, strong pre-snap communication, and effective coverage metrics.
