Times are changing in Washington. The Commanders fired head coach Ron Rivera on Monday after going 4-13 in 2023. In four seasons with Washington, Rivera’s record was 26-40-1.
Now, owner Josh Harris is looking for a new head of football operations/general manager and a new head coach. Harris has reportedly narrowed his choice for a new head of football operations between Adam Peters (49ers assistant GM) and Ian Cunningham (Bears assistant GM).
The change isn’t limited to the front office and coaching staff. The Commanders are scheduled to have 27 free agents this offseason. The number would’ve been 30, but Washington traded defensive ends Montez Sweat and Chase Young at the NFL trade deadline in October.
Several of Washington’s free agents are either full-time starters or have started several games for the Commanders in recent years.
