Commanders cut ties with Biadasz, boosting cap relief and depth questions

The Washington Commanders released starting center Tyler Biadasz, a move that could save $2.8 million immediately and up to $8.2 million this season if designated a post-June 1 cut. Biadasz, who started at center since Dan Quinn brought him over from the Cowboys, was placed on injured reserve on New Year’s Eve after a leg injury and was replaced by Nick Allegretti; Washington will need to add offensive-line depth in free agency and the upcoming draft.

The NFL announced the host teams for three 2026 London games: the Jacksonville Jaguars will host two games at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and Wembley, the Washington Commanders will host one at Tottenham, and the Philadelphia Eagles are slated to be the away team against both Jaguars and Commanders in 2026.

Nine international games are planned for the season across multiple countries, with the full schedule due to be released in mid-May.

Washington's golden arm: Sonny Jurgensen dies at 91

Hall of Fame quarterback Sonny Jurgensen, a defining Washington passer after a stint with the Eagles, died at 91. A four-time All-Pro and five-time Pro Bowler, he led the NFL in passing yards and touchdowns in the late 1960s, helped Washington reach the 1972 Super Bowl, and had his No. 9 retired by the team in 2023. He spent decades in broadcasting after his playing days before passing away in Naples, Florida, leaving behind his wife Margo Hurt and a large family.

Commanders Bet on a Flexible, Pressure-Heavy Defense Under Daronte Jones

Washington named Daronte Jones as its new defensive coordinator to overhaul a leaky unit after a 5–12 season. Jones brings an aggressive, pressure-oriented approach—rooted in Brian Flores’ system and the Vance Joseph coaching tree—that emphasizes multi-role defenders, flexible alignments, and tempo-based chaos. The plan is to draft and sign versatile players who can play multiple roles, moving away from rigid positional labels. While the strategy signals a clear identity shift, it also carries risk given an inexperienced offensive coordinator and a broader rebuild.

Commanders bank on Daronte Jones to energize a stagnant defense

The Washington Commanders tapped Daronte Jones as their new defensive coordinator after failing to lure Brian Flores, a choice Vikings writer Luke Norris says leverages Jones’s track record with Minnesota’s secondary and Flores’s trust in him. It’s a high‑risk, high‑reward move for a defense in need of a full revamp, with success hinging on personnel decisions and GM input. Jones’s background alongside Flores, Zimmer, and others could bring more aggression, pressure, and takeaways, but the job also signals potential further changes in 2027 if the plan falters.

Reaction Looms as Commanders Tap Daronte Jones to Lead Defense

Commanders pivot to unproven play-caller: Daronte Jones named new DC

The Washington Commanders stunned expectations by hiring Daronte Jones as defensive coordinator, replacing Joe Whitt Jr. Jones, formerly Minnesota Vikings defensive backs coach, has limited NFL play-calling experience, and comes from a background tied to Brian Flores, Mike Zimmer, and Vance Joseph. Head coach Dan Quinn aims to inject new ideas on a defense that had grown stale, and the hire shifts responsibility to GM Adam Peters to assemble the right personnel as Washington embarks on a bold, potentially make-or-break season.

Jones-Driven Defensive Overhaul Eyes Washington Commanders

Daronte Jones was hired as the Washington Commanders’ defensive coordinator, signaling a significant shift from the prior regime. With experience from the Vikings, Brian Flores, and LSU, Jones is expected to implement a faster, more exotic blitz-heavy scheme that requires dynamic edge rushers. The front office under GM Adam Peters plans a personnel overhaul to fit the new scheme, with Dorance Armstrong Jr. likely back but Preston Smith probably gone as Washington rebuilds its pass rush. Leadership’s faith in Jones hinges on successfully aligning players and scheme to improve the defense.

Commanders appoint Daronte Jones to lead defense, signaling a 2026 overhaul

The Washington Commanders named Daronte Jones as their new defensive coordinator to replace Joe Whitt, who was relieved of play-calling duties and fired after the 2025 season. Jones, previously the Vikings' defensive backs coach and passing game coordinator, has limited play-calling experience (LSU in 2021). It remains unclear whether he or head coach Dan Quinn will handle play-calling. The defense ranked last in yards allowed and 27th in points allowed in 2025, and Washington is expected to overhaul personnel and schemes ahead of the 2026 season.
