Overview

  • Jayden Daniels posted 3,568 passing yards, 25 touchdowns and nearly 900 rushing yards in his rookie season and will anchor Washington’s offense in 2025.
  • The Commanders traded for Deebo Samuel and signed Pro Bowl tackle Laremy Tunsil, moves credited by PFF with bolstering a previously porous offensive line.
  • First-round pick Josh Conerly Jr. enters training camp expected to contribute at tackle or guard as the team seeks depth and versatility on the line.
  • Terry McLaurin has missed voluntary workouts and has yet to agree on an extension as his attendance at the mandatory June 10–12 minicamp hangs in the balance.
  • Defensive cohesion under Dan Quinn remains critical for sustaining a playoff push behind a newly fortified offense.
