Former NFL quarterback bullish on Commanders in 2026
One former NFL quarterback loves the Commanders' offseason moves and what they mean for Jayden Daniels.
One former NFL quarterback and current ESPN analyst is a fan of what the Washington Commanders have done this offseason. "I'm bullish on Washington right now," said Orlovsky. "Coming off of Jayden's (Daniels) rookie year and that kind of magical year of 2024, I was a little bit more hesitant on 2025 because '24 was so magical in the comebacks and fourth down conversions.
It overshadowed where I thought the rebuild was. Some unfortunate stuff, injuries, all that stuff happens in '25. " "Now you are into '26, and Washington has had this unnoticed, untalked about, but really strong offseason.
" Orlovsky then praised the football background of new OC David Blough and DC Daronte Jones. He likes the two edge rushers the Commanders signed in free agency, Odafe Oweh and K'Lavon Chaisson. Did Orlovsky have anything else to say about any of the free agent additions?
I mean, the Commanders gave up the most yards of any team last season, GM Adam Peters is determined to tear it up and start over in many areas. "I've been a Leo Chenal guy since calling his games at Wisconsin. " "Nick Cross is a good addition, a really smart safety.
