The group that ends up buying the\u00a0Seahawks\u00a0are going to have a lot of pressure on them to live up to the standard what Washington and Denver have set.”<\/p>\n
It’s a positive sign that Harris earned such a solid grade even after a disappointing season on the field for the Commanders in 2025. It just goes to show that there is still a ton of belief in the vision going forward.<\/p>\n
Players pay attention to these grades, so it can only help Washington. Under the previous regime, the team had a reputation as one of the most toxic franchises in the league. Now, it’s a franchise on the upswing with competent people in charge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"March 5, 2026, 6:20 a.m. ET The Washington Commanders are in a much better position now than they…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":793676,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2069],"tags":[95878,427,7,6,95993,95994,95882,95886,96003,96728,95988,95896,95888,95895,95906,95883,96006,95881,855,111,2480],"class_list":{"0":"post-793675","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-washington-commanders","8":"tag-accessfree","9":"tag-commanders","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-nfl","12":"tag-sstssportsnflcommanders","13":"tag-sstsncommanders","14":"tag-tagamerican-football","15":"tag-tagdenver-broncos","16":"tag-tagjayden-daniels","17":"tag-tagjosh-harris","18":"tag-tagminnesota-vikings","19":"tag-tagnational-sports","20":"tag-tagnfl","21":"tag-tagnfl-hub","22":"tag-tagoverall-positive","23":"tag-tagsports-news","24":"tag-tagwashington-commanders","25":"tag-typestory","26":"tag-washington","27":"tag-washington-commanders","28":"tag-washingtoncommanders"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116176520922003511","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/793675","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=793675"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/793675\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/793676"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=793675"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=793675"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=793675"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
