The Washington Commanders are essentially starting from scratch this season with a new general manager, coach and quarterback after finishing with the league's second-worst record a year ago.
But given the fact that Washington had oodles of cap space and loads of draft picks, there's reason to believe the Commanders could turn this around quickly.

Bleacher Report conducted a power rankings for all 32 teams and placed the Commanders at No. 27.
"The Commanders did indeed bring in a number of veteran free agents, whether it was Ekeler on offense or linebackers Bobby Wagner and Frankie Luvu on defense. But Washington also has arguably the worst offensive line in the league and potential issues at edge-rusher even after the acquisition of Dorance Armstrong," Bleacher Report writes. "Washington's 2024 season will hinge largely on how quickly Daniels acclimates to the NFL. And given what's around him, Daniels' first season will likely feature its share of ups and downs."
Only the New England Patriots, Carolina Panthers, New York Giants, Denver Broncos and Arizona Cardinals ranked below the Commanders in the power rankings.
With all of the new additions, there's a lot of uncertainty surrounding the Commanders for the upcoming season. However, at least we know there will be some form of change, and that's important because Washington has to shake things up somehow in order to get better.
