Stats to know
— Wagner, 35, put together another strong season with 162 tackles — the fourth highest single-season total of his career and his 14th consecutive 100-tackle season. He was the Commanders’ best run defender and one of the few on the defensive side of the ball to play in all 17 games, missing only seven snaps for the entire season. Wagner also became one of just three players to record 2,000 career tackles, joining linebackers Ray Lewis and London Fletcher. Wagner needs 60 tackles next season to have the most all-time.
— Jordan Magee saw an uptick in his playing time this season and showed noticeable improvement in his second season. Magee, a former fifth-round pick from Temple, suffered a knee injury prior to the start of the 2024 season that forced him to miss most of his rookie campaign. Now healthy, Magee showed the quickness that made him stand out during the draft process, recording 54 tackles with three stops for a loss. Although Magee still split his time between the defense and special teams, the coaching staff seems excited about his development and what he could accomplish in 2026.
