Did Commanders set up Jayden Daniels for success in 2026?
The Washington Commanders needed to add talent around Jayden Daniels in 2026. Have they done enough?
The 2026 NFL Draft is securely in the rear-view mirror, free agency movement has stalled, and teams are ramping up for minicamps, OTAs, and training camp. This is the perfect time to break down rosters and see where players landed and how that impacts their new teams. The Washington Commanders had several questions to answer during the offseason, and general manager Adam Peters did a decent job of answering those questions.
Now that the draft has concluded, what is the biggest question the Commanders should be asking themselves? CBS Sports recently asked one glaring question for each NFL team and answered it. Question: Does Washington have enough at receiver for Jayden Daniels?
Washington did a solid job this offseason of addressing its biggest weakness -- the defense. The Commanders brought in pass rushers Odafe Oweh and K'Lavon Chaisson, while using the No. 7 overall pick on Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles.
That should certainly help the unit be more respectable in 2026 after a 2025 campaign where they allowed the most total yards in the NFL. While that box is checked, there is a question now looming over the offense. Specifically, whether or not they have enough around Daniels.
