Overview
- ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Washington requested an interview with Patrick Graham for its defensive coordinator vacancy.
- The move comes a day after the Commanders dismissed defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. and offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury.
- Graham has led Las Vegas' defense since 2022 after prior coordinator roles with the Giants and Dolphins and earlier work under Bill Belichick in New England.
- In 2025 the Raiders ranked 14th in yards allowed while finishing 3–14 as their offense averaged 14.2 points per game.
- Washington produced only 10 takeaways in 2025, and team officials are expected to consider multiple candidates for the job.
