The Washington Commanders hope to return to the NFL Playoffs<\/a> in 2026, with Jayden Daniels<\/a> leading the way at quarterback. Daniels may be excited to learn that Washington is looking this offseason to give him some help<\/a> on offense, per an ESPN report.<\/p>\n

\u201cExpect Washington to target offensive help, among a lot of other things. When asking about the top tier of free agent running backs, tight ends and linebackers, the Commanders come up a lot,\u201d Jeremy Fowler reported for the network.<\/p>\n

Washington is coming off a very disappointing 2025 season. The Commanders finished the campaign with a 5-12 record. It was a disappointing to see for fans after the 2024 season, which saw Washington reach the NFC Championship game.<\/p>\n

Washington is in a very competitive division, surrounded by the Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants. The Giants have a new head coach for 2026 in John Harbaugh. The Cowboys, like the Commanders, want to spend a lot of money on free agents. Philadelphia meanwhile has won a Super Bowl in the last few years.<\/p>\n

The Commanders hope to return to the postseason amidst this group of teams. Daniels is key to the team’s success<\/a>. In 2025, the young Washington quarterback threw for 1,262 passing yards and eight touchdowns.<\/p>\n

Daniels missed a good portion of the season<\/a> while dealing with an elbow injury. It was one of several he sustained throughout the campaign.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe sprained his left knee in Week 2 when, at the end of a scramble, he was hit by a helmet. Daniels missed two games. Then, in his third game back he injured his right hamstring when a blitzing defender tackled him in the pocket, causing him to miss one start,\u201d ESPN reported.<\/p>\n

One college player has already expressed his interest<\/a> in possibly playing for the Commanders. That is Notre Dame’s Jeremiyah Love.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’ll be great,\u201d Love said about playing with Daniels, per USA Today. \u201cI feel like we’ll be a great little duo in the backfield. Jayden Daniels can use his feet very well and pass the ball very well. And then you add me in there, I can run the ball, I can do blocking, I can receive. So, if I were to go to the Commanders, I feel like me and Jayden Daniels pair together pretty well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Time will tell if the Commanders improve this coming season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Washington Commanders hope to return to the NFL Playoffs in 2026, with Jayden Daniels leading the way…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":785377,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2069],"tags":[427,7,734,6,927,832,2592,855,111,2480],"class_list":{"0":"post-785376","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-washington-commanders","8":"tag-commanders","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-jayden-daniels","11":"tag-nfl","12":"tag-nfl-combine","13":"tag-nfl-rumors","14":"tag-nfl-free-agency","15":"tag-washington","16":"tag-washington-commanders","17":"tag-washingtoncommanders"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116156455270385817","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/785376","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=785376"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/785376\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/785377"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=785376"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=785376"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=785376"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
