"Jordan Magee has earned the coaching staff's trust as a player who should become a full-time starter in 2026. The fifth-round pick from Temple only appeared in eight contests as a rookie, dealing with multiple injuries, but emerged into a bigger role in Year 2 as he started eight times."
"Quinn stated that both Magee and Chenal are available to play middle linebacker, a position the future Pro Football Hall of Famer Bobby Wagner has held throughout his career."
"After ranking dead-last in yards allowed and second-to-last in turnovers forced, the unit will continue to rely on its youth to provide a spark under new coordinator Daronte Jones in 2026."
The Washington Commanders have made minimal moves in free agency, signing cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon. Most outgoing free agents remain available, but linebacker Bobby Wagner's return seems unlikely. Head coach Dan Quinn expressed confidence in current players like Frankie Luvu, Leo Chenal, and Jordan Magee to fill the linebacker roles. Magee, a fifth-round pick, is expected to become a full-time starter by 2026, despite limited impact in his rookie season. The Commanders aim to revitalize their defense with youth under new coordinator Daronte Jones.
