"The stakes have been raised for the Washington Commanders in 2025. No longer is this once-downtrodden franchise expected to be languishing among the bottom feeders. Fans and analysts are anticipating another deep postseason run in the second year under Dan Quinn's leadership. Whether the Commanders have enough to achieve this feat is debatable. Adam Peters made some aggressive moves over his second recruitment period."
"This confirmed that everyone should start taking this ambitious project seriously, but a frustrating hamstring issue meant he never met expectations. Lattimore's fighting spirit deserves credit. He wanted to help despite being nowhere near 100 percent. It didn't pay off, but things look a lot more promising after a full offseason to heal. The former Ohio State standout showed up to Washington's 2025 preparations looking like a different player. He was fast, explosive, and the quick-twitch agility had returned."
Expectations for the Washington Commanders have risen entering 2025, with postseason ambitions in Dan Quinn's second year. General manager Adam Peters pursued aggressive roster moves that improved the team on paper but left depth vulnerable to injuries. A tougher schedule with extensive travel and many standalone games will test consistency necessary to challenge the Philadelphia Eagles. Player performances carry outsized consequences for individual futures within the organization. Marshon Lattimore's trade represented a high-upside gamble that was marred by a hamstring issue in 2024; after a full offseason he returned to preparations appearing faster, more explosive, and closer to full strength.
