The Washington commanders wrapped up the early waves of free agency by adding several key players after a rough 2025 season. They targeted needs on defense with ed rushers like Odafe Owe and K-Levant Sheson, linebacker Leo Chenon, and cornerback Amick Robertson. On offense, they brought in Tyden Chagosi and Mocaco and running back with Chad White. These moves look solid on paper, especially paired with a strong rookie class and a healthy Jaden Daniels heading into 2026. The team filled multiple holes without breaking the bank on one big name. One analyst, Rao Bacchiano from Fox Sports, isn't impressed though. In his latest power rankings, he dropped the commanders to 19th, down from 17th before free agency. He argues they focused on a bunch of solid contributors rather than game changers. Fans and observers pushed back, pointing out how Owe could boost the past rush alongside

With the dress still ahead, the roster has room to grow, and Daniel staying healthy could add wins on its own. Expect the commanders to keep building momentum this off-season.
