It's officially the dead season for the NFL. OTAs and minicamps have concluded, and the players are off until the end of July. So, this is when members of the media tend to come up with their own things to discuss regarding the NFL. Usually, this is when we assess offseason moves, acquisitions, departures, and how all of the little nuances of each organization will affect the team going forward.
Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer recently discussed where every NFL team currently stands at the summer break. For the Washington Commanders, he's pretty on point with where things stand.
There are still many questions about the Commanders' offense in 2026. General manager Adam Peters didn't make a ton of adjustments there, and it's still unclear whether Brandon Aiyuk will even land in Washington, when the San Francisco 49ers eventually release him. Peters is close friends with 49ers GM John Lynch, and it seems he isn't a fan of some of the things Aiyuk has said. Which is why Breer qualified his statement with "if he has his head on straight."
The Commanders' defense looks vastly improved on paper, but it is yet to be tested. The Commanders' offense doesn't look that different from 2025, and that has some people worried. However, every year, every NFL team has a chance to prove itself. After a stellar 2024 season and a wildly opposite 2025 season, the Commanders will have to do just that to get people to buy in.

The Commanders are coming back with a bit of a different approach after going for broke with veteran additions last year. Obviously, getting Jayden Daniels healthy and trying to avoid injuries will be key—and the coaches, with new OC David Blough leading the way, believe playing Daniels under center more will help. I’d also say adding Brandon Aiyuk, if he has his head on straight, would help, with Terry McLaurin and a really good line already in place.
