Washington is leaning on veteran stars Bobby Wagner and Laremy Tunsil as the Commanders push toward 2025 contention.

The Washington Commanders reported to training camp on Tuesday with one notable absence. Wide receiver Terry McLaurin officially opened training camp as a holdout. McLaurin has one season remaining on his contract and is seeking a new deal comparable to that of other receivers who've recently earned extensions.

President Trump on Sunday publicly demanded that the Washington Commanders change the team name back to the Redskins— labeling them derisively the “Washington Whatever’s.”

This year, the Washington Commanders and general manager Adam Peters drafted a mix of offense and defense in the NFL Draft. With just five total picks in this year's selection show, Peters added three offensive players and two defensive players.

While Terry McLaurin is frustrated, an NFL Insider recently revealed that the star wide receiver is doing what he can to avoid bringing bad vibes around.

Aaron Rodgers has another new home; the Jets, Giants and Browns are still searching for answers; and the league is implementing some changes.

Fortunes have changed for the Washington Commanders. They now have a top-10 roster, according to ESPN, one year after having one of the worst.
