Sad News Washington Commanders QB has been suspended for 3 matches for using foul language over his team mates immediately after their….
A lot of people love what the Washington Commanders are doing these days, but that love doesn’t always extend to the win-loss column.
As more ‘too early’ mock drafts, predictions, and other similar take-based articles are published it’s clear that while the Commanders are drawing a lot of praise the expectation is still that they’ll be picking fairly early in the 2025 NFL Draft, and not likely playing postseason football in 2024.
That being said, coming from four wins, the bar to consider Washington an improved squad is pretty low.
Still, there’s a chance this team can surprise in a positive way this season as much as it did in the opposite direction last year.
“I personally love just about everything the Commanders did this offseason,” Bryan DeArdo wrote in CBS Sports’ latest prediction of teams that could beat expectations.
“Especially the hiring of Dan Quinn as head coach, Kliff Kingsbury as offensive coordinator, the free agent signings of (running back) Austin Ekeler, (center) Tyler Biadasz and (linebacker) Bobby Wagner (among others) and the selection of rookie QB Jayden Daniels with the No. 2 overall pick. Don’t sleep on D.C. in 2024.”
Of course, the over/under win total CBS Sports is using to project these takes is set to 6.5 for the Commanders, meaning DeArdo could be predicting as few as seven wins and still be in the right, here.
The words he’s using here don’t sound like seven, however, more like 10…or maybe somewhere between.
Either way, there are those in the Washington fanbase who would still be disappointed in a sub-10-win season.
But when they pause to think about this team having close to $100 million in cap space next season right now and all of its draft capital intact, the excitement that should come from taking even a seven-win team into that sort of offseason situation would be exciting all over again.
