The Super Bowl is now in the rearview mirror, and attention has firmly turned to the 2026 offseason. Of course, the Washington Commanders have been there for some time, stemming from a campaign that fell well short of expectations.
It quickly became a brutal reality check, with the Commanders crashing back to earth after reaching the NFC Championship game the previous season. Nothing much went right. Injuries didn't help, but Washington's problems ran far deeper. Winning five games is not going to cut it moving forward, so there is a significant amount of work ahead for head coach Dan Quinn and general manager Adam Peters this offseason.
