After Daniel Snyder sold the team before last season, the Washington Commanders began their rebuilding efforts to restore the franchise’s competitiveness in the NFC.
Under new owner Josh Harris and his ownership group, which includes NBA legend Magic Johnson, Washington has taken an aggressive approach to rejuvenate the team, despite the potentially lengthy process.
Following a disappointing 2023 season where the team won only four games and finished last in the NFC East, the Commanders made significant changes. They fired head coach Ron Rivera and hired Dan Quinn, previously with the division-rival Dallas Cowboys.

In addition to Quinn taking charge, the Commanders have been restructuring their front office to expedite their resurgence. The latest move includes hiring former Detroit Lions executive Brandon Sosna, as reported by Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.
With this proactive approach across all aspects of the franchise, Washington is positioning itself as a team to watch in the NFC in the coming years. The recent selection of Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels from LSU as their franchise quarterback provides the team with a clear focus and direction moving forward.
