Washington Commanders begin on-field preparations for the 2026 season with organized team activities as the first official step. Players have already been working through voluntary workouts, but the stakes remain high as the team aims to improve after last season’s disappointment. A new-look roster and two new coordinators increase competition across positions following an aggressive recruitment period. General manager Adam Peters’ approach emphasizes that nothing is guaranteed and past reputations do not matter. Players must earn roles through performance, and those who do not buy in or show the required improvements may lose starting spots. Some projected starters could face added pressure immediately as OTAs approach.
"The Commanders raised more than a few eyebrows around the league with the signing of Javon Kinlaw to a three-year, $45 million deal with $30 million guaranteed. Most immediately perceived that as an overpay, and the defensive lineman did nothing to diminish this notion during his opening campaign with the club."
