Commanders' Sam Cosmi vouches for Kliff Kingsbury after surprise departure

The Washington Commanders will pick No. 7 overall in the 2026 NFL Draft just one year after Jayden Daniels took them to the NFC Championship game, and it doesn't look like Dan Quinn is going to tolerate many of the same staff members that failed to get them back to those past exalted heights.

Not only did Quinn fire defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. in a move that fans expected, but offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury was also shown the door. This came after Daniels was limited to just seven healthy starts due to various injuries.
