"There is significant hard work ahead. This has already begun, with the Commanders confirming that 11 players had signed reserve/futures contracts before embarking on their offseason vacations. These include some who have been around the setup throughout the season. Others joined only recently. But all will get the chance to carve out roles for themselves when preparations for 2026 begin."
"Edge rusher D.J. Johnson wasn't called up to the active roster in Week 18. However, this latest development suggests the Commanders may see long-term promise in the player. Johnson fluffed his lines with the Carolina Panthers after then-general manager Scott Fitterer - now a personnel executive in Washington - traded up to secure his services at No. 80 overall"
The Washington Commanders began an offseason overhaul after a dismal 2025 season, prioritizing youth and roster turnover. General manager Adam Peters moved quickly to recruit younger talent to replace an aging squad and address the league-high number of pending free agents. The team signed 11 players to reserve/futures contracts, spanning offensive line, defensive line, edge, cornerback, receiver, and safety positions, guaranteeing offseason opportunities. Several signees had practice-squad roles or late-season involvement, while others are new additions. The signings aim to evaluate development candidates and build a younger foundation for 2026.
