The #Commanders have agreed to terms with DT Tim Settle on a three-year, $24M deal, per source. He made 12 starts for the Texans last year and has primarily been a run defender throughout his career. He joints a DT rotation of Daron Payne, Javon Kinlaw and Johnny New

No comp picks for the #Commanders this year

The #Commanders have agreed to terms with edge rusher Odafe Oweh on a 4-year, $100M deal with $68M guaranteed, per source.

Oweh had 17.5 sacks across the last two seasons with the Chargers and Ravens. Washington's making a big bet on the 27 year old.

The #Commanders have re-signed QB Marcus Mariota to a one-year, $7M deal, per source. Washington's Jayden Daniels insurance is back.

The #Commanders have agreed to terms with CB Amik Robertson on a two-year, $16M deal, per source. Robertson has been a starter with the Raiders and Lions. After moving on from Marshon Lattimore, Washington turns to Robertson.

The #Commanders have agreed to terms with LT Laremy Tunsil on an extension, per source. It's for two years and $60.2M. Tunsil doesn't have an agent, but the deal was done with assistance from his business manager Laolu Sanni.

The #Commanders officially release CB Marshon Lattmore, which saves them $18.5M in cap space.

Peters said the #Commanders will hire a new senior director of player health and performance. Tim McGrath previously held that role but parted ways with the team this offseason.

Peters said he doesn't expect to discuss an extension with DT Daron Payne this offseason. He's under contract with the #Commanders through 2026.

Peters wouldn't comment when asked about the #Commanders' potential interest in 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk

#Commanders GM Adam Peters isn't putting a timeline on an extension for LT Laremy Tunsil, but he reiterated it's a priority to avoid it dragging on.

The Washington Post has covered the local football team for more than 89 years. Unfortunately, and almost unfathomably, I don't know whether that coverage will continue -- or in what form.

It was an honor to play a small role in that coverage, alongside @tashanreed.bsky.social.

Thank you Shalise! ❤️

I've been laid off as part of The Washington Post's job cuts today. This is an incredibly sad day, not just for my colleagues and I, but for journalism as a whole.

While I'm not sure what's next, I know I'll bounce back and continue to elevate.

Yeah, currently just 4 there now

The NFL is now down to just 3 Black head coaches. And Mike McDaniel, who identifies as biracial, and Eric Bieniemy are currently the only offensive coordinators of Black descent in the league.

Despite that, the injury rate on kickoffs was lower than it was with the previous rules.

The NFL kickoff return rate went up from about 32% in 2024 to almost 75% in 2025.

ACL injuries were down about 25% in the NFL this year, a 7-year low. Concussions were "up a bit" according to NFL EVP, player health & safety Jeff Miller.

This image shows a logo of The Washington Post Guild and our statement: The Post Guild vehemently opposes any more cuts to the staff of The Washington Post. As we’ve seen in recent years, continuing to eliminate scores of workers who make this storied institution what it is only stands to weaken the newspaper, drive away readers and undercut The Post’s mission: to hold power to account without fear or favor and provide critical insight into communities across the region, country and world. If Jeff Bezos no longer supports that mission, then The Post and its readers deserve a steward who does. If you value The Post’s journalism and its renowned past — if you care about its future — we ask that you join us in our call to #SaveThePost.

#SaveThePost, Jeff Bezos.

Commanders set to hire Daronte Jones as defensive coordinator Jones, a key assistant under coordinator Brian Flores with the Minnesota Vikings, is in line to replace Joe Whitt Jr., who was fired this month.

More on new #Commanders defensive coordinator Daronte Jones:

- First-time NFL DC, but with play-calling experience
- Local guy (shoutout Bishop McNamara)
- DB focus to complement Dan Quinn's expertise in DL

Full story w/ @tashanreed.bsky.social: www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2026/...

Jones will be a first-time NFL defensive coordinator. He's been with the Vikings since 2022 and most recently served as a DC with LSU in 2021.

Just wanted to take a minute, for no particular reason whatsoever, and celebrate some of the brilliant work that my
@postsports.bsky.social colleagues have done in recent weeks.

These stories take time and resources. They're also what make The Post so great. All gift links/free to read...

Late to the party on this one, but can confirm Vikings defensive passing game coordinator Daronte Jones is interviewing today for the Commanders' DC vacancy. NFL Network was first.

Jones is the ninth known candidate for the gig, but two (Flores/Gannon) are no longer in play.

The #Commanders interviewed Steelers DC Teryl Austin for their DC vacancy, per source. Other known candidates:

- Patrick Graham
- Joe Cullen
- Dennard Wilson
- Jonathan Gannon
- Karl Scott
- Al Harris

Al Harris will interview for the Commanders' DC vacancy, person familiar confirms. ESPN first reported.

Harris, who was on Dan Quinn's staff in Dallas, becomes the 6th known candidate for the gig. Joins Patrick Graham, Joe Cullen, Dennard Wilson, Karl Scott and Jonathan Gannon.

Stapleton has been on staff since 2024. Played a big role in the development of RT Josh Conerly Jr. this year.
