Commanders Tipped To Be ‘Most Improved’ In 2025 Thanks To 2 Additions<\/a> originally appeared on Athlon Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Washington Commanders are no longer the punchline to jokes; instead, the NFC East franchise has been thrust into relevance thanks to Dan Quinn, Adam Peters, and Jayden Daniels.<\/p>\n

With Washington’s new era getting off to an almighty bang last offseason, that carried over to the regular season as Daniels led the team to a 12-5 record, two playoff wins, and an NFC Championship appearance, more is expected.<\/p>\n

The Commanders doubled down, trading for Deebo Samuel and Laremy Tunsil<\/a> this offseason to push all their 2025 chips into the middle of the table.<\/p>\n

And due to those two moves, NFL.com has named Washington as one of a host of teams will improve in 2025.<\/p>\n

“The Commanders entered the offseason with a clear goal: capitalize on their newfound success, and do so fearlessly,” NFL.com writes<\/a>. “Trades for Deebo Samuel and Laremy Tunsil gave them two proven veterans to bolster an offense headlined by 2024 Offensive Rookie of the Year Jayden Daniels . But if everything works out, the Commanders should be better than they were a year ago, when they sprinted all the way to the NFC Championship Game.”<\/p>\n

Samuel and Tunsil come with stellar resumes, and the Commanders are banking on both being at their Pro Bowl best in 2025. Anything less, and Washington might have some troubles.<\/p>\n

Still, there is enough talent for this team to be playoff-bound, and we are yet to talk about the continued ascension of Daniels as a quarterback, either. If he takes another leap forward, then it might not be the NFC title game that is the benchmark; it might be the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n

Everything feels in place for the Commanders to return as an NFC power in 2025, but as we know, rarely do things run smoothly in the NFL.<\/p>\n

Yes, there will be pitfalls that Washington has to navigate, but this team, thanks to the additions of Samuel and Tunsil, seems adequately adept to deal with them.<\/p>\n
