Commanders Updates
Analyzing 2025 NFL Offseason Reactions
The Commanders Eye NFC East Victory
Expectations were low for the Commanders last season, but they emerged as a pleasant surprise. Under new head coach Dan Quinn and rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, they won their last five regular-season games, including a notable victory against the Eagles, securing a playoff spot as a wild card. They then shocked many by defeating the Buccaneers and Lions, reaching the NFC Championship Game.
With a 12-5 record, the Commanders finished just two games behind the Eagles and acquired veterans like left tackle Laremy Tunsil and wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. to enhance their team. Though the Eagles remain strong favorites in the division, history shows no team has repeated as NFC East champions since 2004, giving the Commanders hope for a 2025 championship run.
Final Assessment: NOT AN OVERREACTION
While the Giants arguably deserve their shot at a division title, their success would come as a surprise—greater than the Commanders’ last season. However, attention remains on the Commanders for now. Coach Quinn has previously led the Falcons to the Super Bowl in his second season, which suggests he will embrace high expectations.

Essential Updates
1) Will Terry McLaurin Attend Camp? After an impressive 2024 season, tension lingers regarding Pro Bowl wide receiver Terry McLaurin’s contract negotiations with management. He has missed several team activities in search of an extension, casting doubt on his attendance at training camp.
2) The Future is Bright in Washington. Daniels’ outstanding rookie season has paved the way for a promising future. The acquisitions of Samuel and Tunsil indicate a commitment to building a powerful offense around Daniels, who has shown potential and poise thus far this offseason.
3) Commanders’ Defense Needs Work. The struggles of the Commanders’ defense were evident last season, leading to a midseason overhaul. Key players were brought in to boost the defense, providing a chance for improvement and re-establishing a competitive edge.
Quarterback Focus for the 2025 Season
What’s Next for Daniels? After a record-setting rookie year, expectations for Daniels are high. While some predict a “sophomore slump,” his mechanics and work ethic suggest he could have another strong season.
Impending Challenges. With tougher defenses on the horizon, Daniels will need support from an improved offensive line to succeed against high-caliber pass-rushers, especially from division rivals.
