2. Washington Commanders
While the Commanders are 3-6 and likely to miss the playoffs for the first time under the Dan Quinn era, it shouldn’t stop them from improving the defense. Jayden Daniels luckily didn’t tear anything, but the Commanders must keep him safe and ready for 2026. With Bobby Wagner and Von Miller likely to retire after the season, the team will be in the market for a linebacker to help Frankie Luvu. Jewell could fill the void, and if Jacob Martin can start on this defensive line, then the Commanders’ defense could change for the better.
