There’s a wave of change covering the Washington Commanders, as the franchise has been filled with new coaches, free agents, draft picks and members of the front office over the past five months. For players like Emmanuel Forbes Jr., it’s a chance to hit the reset button early in his career. “It’s definitely a fresh start,” Forbes told reporters May 14. Forbes, the Commanders’ first-round pick in 2023 and the FBS leader in interceptions returned for touchdowns, was brought in to help fix the…

The vibes have been high for the last four months surrounding the Washington Commanders’ facility, with several players praising the attitude and approach the new coaching staff has brought with them to turn the franchise into a competitor. Count Jonathan Allen among the throng of people who have voiced their support for the team’s new vision. “I’m just so happy,” Allen told reporters after Wednesday’s practice. “I love the coaching staff. I love the direction we’re moving in. I love the way w…

Jonathan Allen is a pro’s pro at this point in his seven-year career. The two-time Pro Bowler works harder than most, and he prides himself on being one of the first players in the building every day. Lately, however, he’s had to get in line behind No. 2 pick Jayden Daniels. “He always beats me here,” Allen said. “I think that’s pretty cool. He stays late. He does everything you want out of your No. 2 overall pick.” Daniels was drafted to be the Washington Commanders’ quarterback of the futur…

**Click here to secure your tickets for the Commanders’ 2024 season!** It is not easy to learn much about a new team around this time of the year, and everything shown on the field should be taken with a boulder of salt. As exciting as it is to see Jayden Daniels and the rest of Washington’s new players on the field for the first time, most of what they’re doing is getting acclimated to the new schemes and practicing techniques. Throws are going to be pristine, routes are crisp and interceptio…

The Washington Commanders have been busy this offseason. Almost five months ago, the team was limping to the finish line of the 2023 season with a 4-13 record after starting things off 2-0. They were slated to have a top pick in the draft and on the cusp of a coaching change. While the tools were there to recalibrate the franchise, Washington was the closest thing to a blank slate as one can find in the NFL. We’re past the halfway point of OTAs, and the team’s future, while incomplete, is star…

The Washington Commanders were not the only team interested in Jeremy Chinn’s services. He had other offers on the table, and according to him, they were at least a little more lucrative from a financial standpoint. Chinn turned them down in favor of joining the Commanders, though, because of the opportunities he could have in the DMV. “Just the situation here with Dan Quinn (defensive coordinator), Joe Whitt (Jr.), and (defensive pass game coordinator (Jason Simmons) and TD (secondary coach T…

Nick Allegretti has a specific routine that he’s developed over the course of his five-year NFL career, and it starts early. He’s used to being one of the first players in the building, but ever since first-round pick Jayden Daniels joined the Washington Commanders, those bragging rights belong to the rookie. “I like to get in here, get in the tubs, work out, and [I] haven’t been here before him yet,” Allegretti said. Allegretti isn’t the only one who has noticed Daniels’ early bird habits. Jo…

Former Washington general manager Charley Casserly played a pivotal role in molding the franchise’s golden years, and now he is being honored for his accomplishments. Casserly, who spent most of an NFL career spanning nearly three decades with Washington in various positions, has been named as one of the inductees into the DC Sports Hall of Fame for his contributions to professional sports in the DC area. After starting his professional career as an unpaid intern under Hall of Fame coach George…

The competition for left tackle is one of the biggest storylines from the Washington Commanders’ training camp, but the offensive line as a whole is a question that the team must solve to better protect Jayden Daniels and Marcus Mariota. That is going to take longer than fans might want, but the deliberately slow process of finding the right players up front isn’t a bad thing. The Commanders haven’t done much tinkering with the offensive line in the first two days of training camp, but that wi…
