The 2025 season is the Washington Commanders' 94th in the National Football League (NFL). It is their second under the tandem of general manager Adam Peters and head coach Dan Quinn, following up on their 12–5 record and NFC Championship Game appearance from the 2024 season.

Overview

The front office saw the addition of former Campbell's CEO Mark Clouse as team president and the retirements of senior personnel executive Martin Mayhew and advisor Marty Hurney.[1][2][3] The coaching staff saw Brian Schneider replace John Glenn, who left to become the linebackers coach of the Las Vegas Raiders, as assistant special teams coordinator.[4][5]

In the offseason, the Commanders traded draft picks for Houston Texans left tackle Laremy Tunsil and San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel.[6][7] Notable free agents signed include wide receiver Michael Gallup, guard Nate Herbig, defensive ends Deatrich Wise Jr. and Jacob Martin, defensive tackles Javon Kinlaw and Eddie Goldman, cornerback Jonathan Jones, safety Will Harris, and kicker Matt Gay.[8] The Commanders revealed "Super Bowl Era" alternate uniforms resembling those of the franchise's former Super Bowl-winning teams on July 9.[9]
