The Washington Commanders<\/a> hope to return to the NFL Playoffs 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\u2019s 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\u2019s Jeremiyah Love.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019ll be great,\u201d Love said about playing with Daniels, per USA Today. \u201cI feel like we\u2019ll 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
