"I'm not going to say that the Commanders caught lightning in a bottle last year, or that what we saw from them was a flash in the pan, but I do think we could see this team take a slight step back in 2025. Jayden Daniels got a new weapon with Deebo Samuel joining Terry McLaurin. He got a couple of new linemen in front of him in Laremy Tunsil and Josh Conerly Jr. The question for the Commanders is not about their offense, but their defense. Dan Quinn is going to have to work his magic with a rough group of pass rushers."
"It's no secret that the Commanders were desperately short of productive edge rushers. Adam Peters ignored this need, for the most part, signing journeyman Jacob Martin, run-stopper Deatrich Wise Jr., and Von Miller. That bolsters the experience in the group, but there is a distinct lack of vibrant explosiveness. Commanders' edge-rushing concerns tipped to spearhead 2025 regression by NFL analyst"
The Washington Commanders reached the final four last season despite low expectations. Sustaining or exceeding that result is the team's next challenge. Fans believe offseason roster moves improved competitiveness. The biggest concern is a thin edge-rushing group that lacks youthful explosiveness. General manager Adam Peters added Jacob Martin, Deatrich Wise Jr., and Von Miller, which increases experience but not pronounced burst. Offensive additions such as Deebo Samuel, Terry McLaurin, Laremy Tunsil, and Josh Conerly Jr. strengthen protection and receiving options for Jayden Daniels. Head coach Dan Quinn must elevate the pass rush to avoid regression.
