"Head coach Dan Quinn has already made changes to his staff this offseason. Nobody expected anything less after the Washington Commanders failed to meet expectations in 2025, but it was a drastic roll of the dice that can hopefully lead to improved fortunes moving forward. Both coordinators have been replaced. Daronte Jones will lead the defense, and David Blough will spearhead the offense."
"Welker joined the Commanders last offseason. His previous connection to wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. was another positive, and it was no surprise to see the versatile weapon enjoy a productive year as a result. The ex-wideout also helped out on special teams while Brian Schneider was dealing with a health issue. Quinn was suitably impressed, and now Welker will aim to make his presence felt in a more influential coaching role."
"This isn't Welker's first coaching go-around. He was a wide receivers coach with both the San Francisco 49ers and Miami Dolphins before joining the Commanders. He's also a two-time All-Pro and five-time Pro Bowler who attained 903 receptions for 9,924 receiving yards and 50 touchdowns throughout his career, so the achievements speak for themselves. Just what Welker's responsibilities will be hasn't been disclosed as yet."
Head coach Dan Quinn reshuffled the coaching staff after the Commanders missed expectations in 2025, replacing both coordinators with Daronte Jones (defense) and David Blough (offense). Multiple assistant coach changes occurred and Wes Welker will shift from a personnel analyst role to the offensive coaching staff, though his exact title remains undisclosed. Welker's prior connection to Deebo Samuel Sr., special teams contributions during Brian Schneider's health issue, and prior wide receivers coaching experience with the 49ers and Dolphins strengthen his fit. Welker's playing résumé and Quinn's trust bolster his potential impact on the offense.
