Commanders Cap Off 2026 Free Agency Push as $301.2M Cap Becomes Benchmark
The NFL has set the 2026 salary cap at $301.2 million and kicked off the legal tampering period as Washington readies for a busy free‑agent cycle with new coordinators. The team has already signed Amik Robertson and re-signed several veterans including Tress Way, Andrew Wylie, Nick Allegretti, Deatrich Wise Jr., Shy Tuttle, Drake Jackson, Jake Moody, and even extended Laremy Tunsil, while evaluating pending free agents such as Deebo Samuel, Marcus Mariota, and others. Washington aims to improve on last season’s 5‑12 record and rebuild around QB Jayden Daniels, with rumors of additional moves and veteran departures already swirling.
