"The New Year is almost upon us. And after things started so well for the Washington Commanders with a sensational 2024 playoff run to the NFC Championship game, the 2025 campaign has brought everyone associated with the franchise crashing back down to earth. This will inevitably come with some landmark changes during the offseason. There are only three years left of quarterback Jayden Daniels' rookie contract. The time for half-measures is over; there can be no emotional attachment to anyone in pursuit of overall organizational progress."
"Injury problems over the last two years saw Igbinoghene heavily involved in the defensive rotation. The 2020 first-round pick out of Auburn has given up 66.7 percent of targets thrown in his direction and a 96.7 passer rating when targeted this season. He's also missed 13.5% of his tackles, which is another major problem that won't be overlooked when it's time to decide his future."
Washington entered 2025 after a sensational 2024 playoff run but has since faltered, prompting expectations of major offseason changes. Quarterback Jayden Daniels has three years remaining on his rookie contract, increasing urgency for decisive roster moves. General manager Adam Peters is expected to implement a comprehensive overhaul despite currently holding only six draft picks. Cornerback Noah Igbinoghene has shown flashes of promise but has been hampered by injuries and inconsistency, surrendering 66.7% of targets and a 96.7 passer rating when targeted, and missing 13.5% of his tackles this season. Trade speculation has circulated, but injuries limited earlier opportunities to move him.
