COMMANDERS SQUAD | Can the Commanders CATCH the Eagles? Bold 2026 Predictions

Locked On Commanders - Daily Podcast On The Washington Commanders

About this episode

The Washington Commanders are entering one of the biggest seasons in franchise history, and there are no shortage of storylines to break down.

This week on Commanders Squad, we discuss the federal approval of the new RFK Stadium project and what a return to Washington, D.C. could mean for the franchise and its fans. We also debate whether 2026 is a true prove-it season for Jayden Daniels after an injury-filled 2025 campaign, make our bold predictions for the upcoming season, and ask the biggest question in the NFC East: Can Washington realistically overtake the Philadelphia Eagles?

This week's topics:
