"Daronte Jones has already begun to implement his strategy for the Washington Commanders' defense. Several assistants, including team legend Ryan Kerrigan, have been made surplus to requirements on the staffing side. There will also be numerous changes to the playing personnel in the weeks and months ahead. Not many should be guaranteed a place in the plans. Washington's defense was nothing short of abysmal in 2025, leading to Joe Whitt Jr.'s firing."
""Will Harris is another Commanders defender whose best days might be behind him. Just about everyone in the secondary should be on high alert after the Commanders finished in the bottom five of passer rating allowed. That includes 30-year-old Will Harris who gave up a 117.1 passer rating when targeted this season." Alex Ballentine Getting injured early in the campaign dented Harris's impact."
Daronte Jones has begun implementing a new defensive strategy for the Washington Commanders, removing several assistants including Ryan Kerrigan from staffing. Numerous changes to playing personnel are planned because the defense ranked poorly in 2025, prompting Joe Whitt Jr.'s firing. The organization needs a complete roster refresh to fit Jones' creative, aggressive scheme. General manager Adam Peters has free-agent money and six 2026 draft picks to pursue replacements. Veteran safety Will Harris is at risk due to limited coverage ability, a 117.1 passer rating when targeted, and a lost-to-injury season. Jones is likely to prioritize athletic, explosive safeties.
