Jayden Daniels is working with his teammates in California
Jayden Daniels has a social media feud with Brandon Aiyuk, who has expressed interest in playing in Washington. While the embattled 49ers wide receiver continues to talk noise , the Commanders quarterback has quietly gone back to work. Daniels worked with his wide receivers, running backs and tight ends in Los Angeles. Commanders wide receiver Dyami Brown posted a photo of the 12 players participating in the offseason work. Terry McLaurin was among those present. Daniels is entering his third NFL season, coming off a sophomore season that saw him play only seven games. He was on the injury report every game except the opener

Back with the Commanders, Dyami Brown vows it's a "new me"
At a time when Commanders fans wonder whether Brandon Aiyuk will ever arrive, it’s important not to forget about a receiver who’s back for a second bite at the apple. Dyami Brown, after a season in Jacksonville, has returned to Washington for a second stint. Via Tony Adams of Heavy.com, a workout video posted by Brown on Friday makes a bold declaration. “That’s for the old me,” Brown says at the end of the session after taking a swig of hydration. “And the old me gets a drink of water. The new me gonna make it rain . Watch.” Brown entered the league with promise as a 2021 third-round pick from North Carolina (back when, before its current coach, UNC produced draftable talent). But the production never matched the potential. As a rookie, Brown had 165 receiving yards on 12 catches in 15 games. In Year 2, he also appeared in 15 games. The good news is that he had an eye-popping 28.3 yards per catch. The bad news is that he had only five catches, for 143 yards. In 2023, Brown had 12 catches in 17 games, for 168 yards. He performed better in his contract year, relatively speaking. But, still, 30 catches for 308 yards won’t make demand spike on the open market. But then came the 2024 postseason, and a different Dyami Brown emerged. In the wild-card win over the Buccaneers, he had five catches on five targets for 89 yards and a touchdown. In the divisional upset win over the Lions, eight targets, six catches, 98 yards. Another 42 yards against the Eagles in the NFC Championship slaughter gave Brown 229 receiving yards for the three-game postseason — more yards than any of his first three full seasons. Brown landed in Jacksonville, where coach Liam Coen said Brown would have a bigger role . It didn’t happen; 14 games, six starts, 37 targets, 20 catches, 227 yards, one touchdown. And five drops, matching his total from four years in Washington. In the offseason, Brown signed a one-year, $1.75 million deal to return to the Commanders. And, especially without Aiyuk, the door is open for Brown to contribute. Currently, there are no big names beyond Terry McLaurin on the depth chart. Treylon Burks is expected to be a starter, as is third-round rookie Antonio Williams. Brown is projected for now to be a second-string option. If he truly is a “new me,” Brown should be able to get on the field, and to get some targets. By the end of quarterback Jayden Daniels’s rookie season, they had chemistry. If, as it appears, the chemistry experiment between Daniels and Aiyuk has gone the way of Peter Brady’s volcano , Brown’s sixth NFL season has a chance to be his best

2026 Season Outlook
sleeper-outlook+3 stories · 30dSource unavailable
Brown, a 2021 third-round pick, re-signed on a one-year deal to return to the Commanders in 2026. Across his first four seasons in the league, all with Washington, Brown totaled a 59-784-4 line while suiting up for 63 regular-season games, and in 2025 with Jacksonville he had 20 catches for 227 yards and one touchdown across 14 regular-season appearances. Brown will be in the mix with Luke McCaffrey, Antonio Williams and Treylon Burks for a role behind No. 1 WR Terry McLaurin

Former NFL WR Ed McCaffrey talks about son Luke’s preparation for 2026 season
We’ve talked a lot about wide receivers this offseason – more specifically, who may step up (or be signed) to be the number two opposite Terry McLaurin . Some familiar names that have been mentioned (besides Aiyuk and Diggs) are Treylon Burks , Luke McCaffrey, Dyami Brown and third-round rookie Antonio Williams . My friend Kyle Odegard was kind enough to share this exclusive interview he did with Ed McCaffrey this month where Ed talks about the Broncos, sons Christian and Luke, and his youth football camp. He gave some good insight into Luke’s physical and mental preparation for the up-coming season and dealing with a slow start to his NFL career. Ed McCaffrey on Luke trying to increase his playing time in 2026 : I know Luke is working really hard to be the best player he can be. It’s very competitive and there is a lot of talent on that roster. Luke knows that. He’s the son of an NFL player. His brothers play and coach in the NFL. He knows he has to go out and earn it. No one gives you anything in this league. But I can say he looked in great shape last time I saw him. He looked stronger than a year ago. He looks faster and more explosive. He’s giving himself the best chance to get on the field and compete for the Commanders. Ed McCaffrey on starting his own NFL career slowly and Luke staying patient : The NFL is a tough league. You’re in the top .00001% of football players in the world. It’s the elite of the elite at that level. And you can only control what you can control: your attitude and your effort, and you can get bigger and stronger in the offseason and make sure you know the plays. As a wide receiver, you can’t control your playing time and you can’t throw yourself the football. As a receiver, you have to be very patient, and you have to be ready for the opportunities that you get. When you get them, you really have to make them count. He knows that. He’s doing everything he can. It’s just the life of a wide receiver. Ed McCaffrey on what he’s heard about David Blough : I’ve heard a lot of great things coming out of OTAs from other coaches and players. I think they are very impressed with the job he’s been doing as the OC. We have talked extensively about who will step up to be that complementary piece to Terry McLaurin this season. A few weeks ago, I wrote about Luke in this article . According to Ed, Luke is in a good place both physically and mentally and it seems this new offense will fit his skillset a bit more that what we saw Kingsbury roll out the past two seasons. Regardless if/when Brandon Aiyuk joins the Commanders , it appears Luke McCaffrey is prepared for a larger role this season

49ers receiver wants to jump ship to Commanders
Brandon Aiyuk has not played for the San Francisco 49ers in almost two years, but the one-time All-Pro receiver does not believe his career is over. In fact, Aiyuk continues to stay away from the 49ers facilities, but says he wants the team to cut him, at which point he says he will immediately sign with the Washington Commanders . It’s not clear to anyone if Aiyuk will play in the NFL next season, but the Los Angeles Rams play the 49ers twice and the Commanders once. They might get their chance. In an Instagram post on Wednesday, Aiyuk reiterated his desire to be cut by the 49ers and emphasized a desire to play with the Commanders. Washington’s GM is Adam Peters, formerly of the San Francisco 49ers. It would give Aiyuk a chance to play with quarterback Jayden Daniels and pair up with Terry McLaurin . The Commanders have an apparent weakness at the position, set to start Treylon Burks and rookie Antonio Williams , if not Luke McCaffrey , Dyami Brown , or Jaylin Lane . Former Rams receiver Van Jefferson is also on the roster. It seems to leave a huge opening for Aiyuk, a receiver who had 1,342 yards in 2023, his last full season in the league. Aiyuk, a first round pick in 2020, has averaged 62 yards per game in his career. He recently turned 28. But do the Commanders want him as much as he wants to go to D.C.? The announcement implies that he’s already heard from Peters that the team is interested. The Rams play the Commanders in Week 9

Commanders RB Rachaad White looks like “an incredible bargain”
Editor’s note: Each day, Hogs Haven compiles a collection of articles, podcasts & tweets from around the web to keep you in touch with the Commanders, the NFC East, the NFL and sports in general, with a sprinkling of other stuff. Enjoy! JP Finlay A new offense and new defense means the work doesn’t stop for Washington during the NFL break Rookie WR Antonio Williams knows how to get separation. He has a chance for a real role in this offense, as does Treylon Burks . The former first-rounder just needs to stay healthy, something he’s been unable to do so far in his NFL career. Burks did tell me this year feels like a fresh start. Quinn also went out of his way to salute the strong summers for veterans Dyami Brown and Van Jefferson . Quick note on Henry – he’s wearing the 30 jersey and when he’s on the field looks a bit like Austin Ekeler . He’s my early pick for preseason leader in rush yards (which does not mean a roster spot but is a silly prediction game we play on the Beltway Football podcast). Ben Sinnott and Chig Okonkwo had strong offseasons. David Blough ’s offense is going to offer more verticality for the tight end position and expect both to be able to show their athleticism. Okonkwo will be the lead dog at the position but Sinnott might finally be able to prove why he was a Top 100 pick. Connerly looks bigger and with broader shoulders than his rookie season. Still the single moment that stood out for me came from the conclusion of minicamp practices when the entire team ran a series of short sprints. [Laremy] Tunsil – the five-time Pro Bowler going into his 11th season and with career earnings of well over $100 million – was grinding out the June sprints. Actions not words. I stood on the sideline watching practice with former Redskins RB Ricky Ervins and Commanders team president Mark Clouse . Ervins told a story about the first time he played at RFK and saw the stands bouncing and explained the scene nearly drove him to tears. He asked Clouse if the bounding seats would be re-created at the new stadium, and the team prez explained that it would for a portion of the seats. It was a cool moment of the past meeting the future, something the organization is trying to do and something the fan base desperately wants. The Athletic (paywall) The line will do a lot of zone blocking Quinn said repeatedly during these nonpadded workouts that it’s hard to get real evaluations on offensive linemen in the spring because so much of the job revolves around physicality. What we do know: The offensive line will use a primarily zone-blocking scheme reminiscent of the one Mike Shanahan employed in Washington from 2010 through 2013 — a system he perfected in Denver in the 1990s. Zone blocking in the run game is exactly as it sounds: Offensive linemen block an area rather than a man. It requires linemen to be athletic and on the move, and results in a lot of double-teams on defensive linemen. “Under-center snaps with some wide zone — with some pulling — I’ve done it before,” said Nick Allegretti , who is moving from guard to center. “But it’s gonna be a bigger part of the bulk of that offense. I’m just getting out in space.” Because there was no tackling during these workouts, any long rushing touchdown was kind of fake. But during one workout last week, Allegretti and guard Sam Cosmi celebrated a supposed score by jumping on each other because they had pulled and led a running back into the end zone some 25 yards downfield — just how Blough drew it up. Heavy.com There was a time, just 2 years ago, when running back Rachaad White saw his value skyrocket to the point he was being talked about as a player who might reset the market for his position. Before the 2024 season, after he put up over 1,500 yards of total offense in 2023, White’s value on the open market was thought to be approaching $10 million per season. Before the 2025 season, and even after losing his starting job on the Buccaneers to rookie Bucky Irving , [... truncated ...]

Who is the answer to Commanders questions at WR in 2026
Editor’s note: Each day, Hogs Haven compiles a collection of articles, podcasts & tweets from around the web to keep you in touch with the Commanders, the NFC East, the NFL and sports in general, with a sprinkling of other stuff. Enjoy! The Athletic (paywall) [R]osters aren’t solidified in June. The lack of production from last season doesn’t account for the fact that the team took wideout Antonio Williams from Clemson in the third round of April’s draft. Chig Okonkwo, a free-agent signee , gives quarterback Jayden Daniels a more dynamic element at tight end. And so much of the Commanders’ offensive potential hangs on Daniels’ health, which could easily be identified as the most important element for 2026. But there’s a reason why the names Brandon Aiyuk and Stefon Diggs still hang over the offseason. It’s because — and here’s your quiz answer — Dyami Brown , Jaylin Lane, Luke McCaffrey , Treylon Burks and Jacoby Jones don’t collectively scream, “We’re fine here.” [U]ntil Aiyuk either returns to the San Francisco 49ers ( which isn’t happening ) or is cut, and Diggs, who helped the New England Patriots to an AFC championship a year ago, signs with another team, Commanders fans have the right to wonder: Why not kick the tires? If [Brandon Aiyuk] really wants out of San Francisco — and it’s apparent that he does — then all he has to do is show up for one of the 49ers’ offseason workouts. Step on the field, and there are people who believe the Niners would cut him instantly because they don’t want to be responsible for paying him in 2026 should he get hurt in the offseason. Diggs’ ties to Washington aren’t to the quarterback or the front office, but to the city itself. He grew up in nearby Montgomery County, Md., and played college ball at Maryland. A free agent, he caught 85 balls for 1,013 yards in 2025, a season in which he turned 32. He may be on the back end of his career, but that career has featured seven 1,000-yard seasons in the last eight years. He can still play. Would signing Diggs make the Commanders’ receiving corps a strength? No. Would it take some heat off a group of pass catchers that currently doesn’t have its top two players in receptions from a year ago, Deebo Samuel and Zach Ertz ? Yes. Those 122 catches come from somewhere. Bullock’s Film Room (subscription) Through the first two weeks of OTAs, it appears as though Treylon Burks is the receiver standing out the most. Most local beat reporters have stated that Burks is getting most of the reps opposite McLaurin and when you see videos from practice, it’s typically Burks that comes up second in the receiver running order after McLaurin. As a former first round pick, Burks is obviously a talented receiver. The issues for him in Tennessee mostly revolved around struggling to stay healthy. So if he can stay healthy, could he earn that second spot in the Commanders wide receiver rankings? To judge that, we first need to see what new offensive coordinator David Blough is likely looking for from a receiver like Burks. Burks is listed at 6-foot-2, 225 pounds and is probably best suited to playing an outside receiver role in this offense. With McLaurin locking down the X receiver role, that leaves the Z receiver spot open. So what does Blough want from a Z receiver? Only he knows the actual answer to that question, but we do know that his offense is likely to be heavily influenced from his time in Detroit under Ben Johnson. So looking back at that 2023 Lions offense, how did they use the Z receiver? One of the themes of the Lions offense in 2023 was how they leaned on an interior trio of running back Jahmyr Gibbs , tight end Sam LaPorta and slot receiver Amon-Ra St.Brown . Those three carried a lot of the load working underneath and over the middle of the field. The Z receiver in that offense became a secondary option after those guys, but often you’d see the Lions use those three underneath as bait to open up a deeper crossing route for the Z receiver.

Grading the Washington Commanders offseason: Did Washington get better?
The New York Giants are in the off-season and each NFC East team is retooling their rosters in an effort to conquer the other three franchises. The Giants are the only team with a new coaching staff, as John Harbaugh looks to turn around the renowned, but struggling, franchise. The Philadelphia Eagles remain the dominant team in the division, and they’ve secured three of the last four division titles, including a 2024 Super Bowl victory. The Dallas Cowboys have underwhelmed, but have owned the New York Giants. Dallas made the playoffs three years in a row ( 2021-2023 ), but have failed to make the off-season the past two seasons. The departure of former defensive coordinator, Dan Quinn, as well as several questionable personnel decisions, have affected the team’s effectiveness. The aforementioned Dan Quinn is the head coach of the Washington Commanders – a team that went to the NFC Championship game in Jayden Daniels ’ epic 2024 rookie campaign. Unfortunately for Washington, the Commanders weren’t commanding much in 2025. Daniels struggled with injuries and the NFL seemed to have more answers for the young man than the Commanders had solutions. Nevertheless, though, Washington has retooled their roster and added younger defensive players, as well as some offensive weapons, that may help the Commanders get back to the playoffs. Let’s take a look at what Washington did since the end of their 5-12 season: Key subtractions LB Bobby Wagner, WR Deebo Samuel, EDGE Von Miller, C Tyler Biadasz, EDGE Preston Smith, RB Austin Ekeler, TE Zach Ertz, CB Marshon Lattimore, RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. Key additions: WR Dyami Brown , EDGE K’Lavon Chaisson, LB Leo Chenal, S Nick Cross, RB Jerome Ford, TE Chigoziem Okonkwo, EDGE Charles Omenihu, EDGE Odafe Oweh, CB Amik Robertson, DT Tim Settle Jr., RB Rachaad White, DT DJ Davidson, CB Ahkello Witherspoon Round 1, Pick 7 (7): Sonny Styles, LB, Ohio State Round 3, Pick 71 (71): Antonio Williams , WR, Clemson Round 5, Pick 147 (147): Joshua Josephs, EDGE, Tennessee Round 6, Pick 187 (187): Kaytron Allen , RB, Penn State Round 6, Pick 209 (209): Matt Gulbin, C, Michigan State Round 7, Pick 223 (223): Athan Kaliakmanis, QB, Rutgers Jaden Bradley, WR, UNLV Tanoa Togiai, OG, Utah Jeffrey M’Ba, DT, SMU Malik Spencer, S, Michigan State Robert Henry Jr., RB, UTSA Quentin Moore, TE, Washington Chris Hilton Jr., WR, LSU Fred Davis II, CB, Northwestern Drew Stevens, K, Iowa Dan Quinn is losing plenty of veterans who brought valuable experience but were in the twilight of their careers; and, in the case of Ertz and Ekeler, were devastated by serious injuries. Wagner was the green-dot wearer for the last two years for Dan Quinn; he’s played over 1,100 snaps in both of his seasons with Washington, earning exceptional grades from Pro Football Focus. PFF had Wagner recording 215 tackles with 108 STOPs and 48 pressures over the last two seasons. He’s almost 36-years-old; is he getting long in the tooth? Yes, but his presence was still an invaluable one, and rookie Sonny Styles has gigantic shoes to fill, albeit the addition of former Chiefs linebacker Leo Chenal will help the transition and provide Quinn with more defensive potential. Tim Settle was also signed to the defensive front, as well as former Giant DJ Davidson. The front looks better than it did in the 2025 season, with Daron Payne as the centerpiece and Frankie Luvu as the WILL; Chenal is an excellent addition for Quinn. Washington traded several draft assets for Marshon Lattimore , and the former Saints’ cornerback spent much of his time injured. He was released by the team, who will now rely on the young combination of Mike Sainristil and Trey Amos . Veteran Amik Robertson and Ahkello Witherspoon will also work into the rotation. Safety Nick Cross was added to the secondary on a two-year, $14-million contract. The Commanders put a focus on building a long and strong defensive line, especially on the trenches.

Cold, Hard Truth: Commanders had one of the best offseasons in the NFL … and they aren’t done yet
I don’t like to sugarcoat things. If something looks fantastic , I like to point it out. If something looks bad, I will bring that to the forefront. In this series, “The Cold, Hard Truth,” I will give my analysis on various parts of the team in an effort to allow healthy discussions on the specific topics at hand. In stark contrast to some of my previous cold, hard truth articles, this one should make most fans pretty happy! On March 5, less than a week before the new league year officially started, I wrote this article stating that Washington had the least talented roster in the NFC East. At the time – THAT WAS THE COLD, HARD TRUTH! As I write this today, I do not believe that is the case any longer. I can even take it a step further. Washington may have done the most in the NFL this offseason to improve their overall talent . Washington entered the start of free agency with the fifth-most cap space in the NFL and they made some moves to make even more right after the new league started. The Results: A DYNAMITE free agency haul! EDGE Odafe Oweh (starter) EDGE K’Lavon Chaisson (starter) TE Chig Okonkwo (starter) LB Leo Chenal (starter) S Nick Cross (starter) CB Amik Robertson (starter) DL Tim Settle (situational starter) DL Charles Omenihu (situational starter) RB Rachaad White (situational starter) WR Dyami Brown (situational starter) DB Ahkello Witherspoon (situational starter) Washington’s free agency stretch was so good, that center was the only spot where they released a player that they didn’t upgrade with someone better. In the 2026 NFL Draft , Washington had just two top 100 picks, but they walked away with what I consider to be five impact players. LB Sonny Styles (starter) WR Antonio Williams (probable starter) EDGE Joshua Josephs (depth with starting upside) RB Kaytron Allen (depth with starting upside) OL Matt Gulbin (potential starter) After the draft, Adam Peters signed a good crop of undrafted free agents . There are a few players who have a shot of making the team – including Chris Hilton Jr., Robert Henry Jr. and Fred Davis II, but the headliner of the group was Iowa kicker Drew Stevens, who will compete with Jake Moody during training camp for the starting job. And, make no mistake about it, the big-legged Hawkeye has a very good chance to win this competition! Looking at both sides of the ball, Washington will likely have 11 new starters compared to the 2025 roster — roughly half of the lineup. Most changes took place on the defensive side of the ball, and rightfully so. Over half of Washington’s starting defense will be new come opening day — barring injuries —- and not all of these names are just fillers. Adam Peters went out and got young, impactful players via free agency and the draft. Oweh and Chaisson are two EDGE defenders who are in their prime. Leo Chenal and Sonny Styles will help give Washington the biggest, most athletic linebacking corps in the league. Nick Cross was one of the best safeties against the run the last two years, and Robertson is a versatile corner who should fit nicely into Jones’ new aggressive defense. Omenihu, Settle, and Davidson will provide great depth along the defensive front, while Witherspoon can be a situational starter on the back end. The offense won’t see quite as much turnover as the defense, but some key players to help take pressure off quarterback Jayden Daniels will be welcome additions. Chig Okonkwo should offer Daniels an athletic security blanket who can be a nightmare with the ball in his hands. Rookie third-round draft pick Antonio Williams is projected to start in the slot, and his short-area quickness and ability to get open underneath should fit well into new coordinator David Blough ’s offense. Bringing back Dyami Brown could give Jayden another deep weapon on the outside. Rachaad White will battle this summer for the starting running back role and his ability as a receiver out of the backfield will be a welcome addition [... truncated ...]
