WASHINGTON COMMANDERS

Washington rebounded from a 4-13 finish in 2023 to 12-5 in 2024, reaching the NFC Championship Game for the first time since 1991 before falling to Philadelphia 55-23. Rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, the second overall pick, won Offensive Rookie of the Year after completing 69 percent of his passes for 3,568 yards and 25 touchdowns while rushing for 891 yards, immediately elevating his card market value alongside Pro Bowler Terry McLaurin. The 2025 season saw a dramatic collapse to 5-12, plagued by injuries to key players including Daniels and McLaurin, cooling off the card market after the prior year's playoff run.

Where they stand: The 2025 season ended with a 5-12 record and third place in the NFC East, with the team eliminated from playoff contention in Week 14. Veterans have reported to training camp in Ashburn for the 2026 season under head coach Dan Quinn, with Daniels returning after missing the final four games of 2025 with an elbow injury. The offseason focused on a roster reset around Daniels following the disappointing 5-12 campaign, with linebacker Bobby Wagner and other veterans departing as Washington rebuilds.
