No Really… Dan Snyder IS Selling The Washington Commanders… And Soon!

June 22, 2025May 13, 2023 by Mark Solway

Sometimes you wish for something so hard, that when it happens, it’s hard to reconcile in your own mind. Case in point? Dan Snyder selling the Washington Commanders.

Sure it was weeks ago that Snyder reached an agreement in principle, to sell the franchise to Josh Harris and his group for $6 billion. Admittedly, it felt safe to say then that the reign of terror was finally coming to an end.

But for some reason, it still didn’t seem “done” as nothing had been said publicly by the Snyders.

That changed yesterday.

Building Up The History Section Of The Website With Legends Profiles

June 1, 2025May 10, 2023 by Mark Solway

While the NFL offseason seems to grow shorter and shorter as the years go by, there is still an offseason. After the opening of free agency and the NFL Draft, there is definitely a lull in the action. There isn’t much to report on and there isn’t much to talk about.

One of the things that I have become passionate about, is trying to build up the history section of this website. So for me, using this time in the offseason to add to the resources that this site provides, seems like a good thing to do.

One of the thing that I have always wanted to have more of, is profiles of players that have been great for this team. Sure a lot of them are from what seems like long ago, but how else are the youth of today and tomorrow supposed to learn about the greats if there are few resources?

Looking Back At The Washington Commanders 2022 NFL Season

June 22, 2025May 7, 2023 by Mark Solway

It wasn’t a losing season, but it wasn’t a winning one either. It was a very mixed bag for the Washington Commanders in 2022. Despite an auspicious beginning, they were in the playoff hunt until the second last game of the season against the Cleveland Browns – a 24-10 defeat that dashed any hopes of a playoff game.

Who could forget the infamous comment from Head Coach Ron Rivera following the Browns loss?

“We can be eliminated?”

After the first game, it looked like maybe the Carson Wentz could work.

That didn’t last long.

Here’s a look at the entire season of events:

Commanders Sign Twelve Undrafted Free Agents, Five Of Them Receivers

May 2, 2023 by Mark Solway

With the 2023 NFL Draft in the books, the Washington Commanders turned their attention to fleshing out some talent that did not get selected over the weekend. They announced the signing of twelve undrafted free agents on Monday.

The burgundy and gold did not sign a single pass catcher in this year’s draft, so perhaps it’s not a surprise that five of those twelve UDFA’s were wide receivers. They also added four defensive backs, a quarterback, an offensive lineman and a defensive end.

Several of the players that were selected, excelled academically at their schools. That is clearly a concerted effort and not a coincidence.

Commanders Take Cornerback Emmanuel Forbes With First Round Pick

June 1, 2025April 28, 2023 by Mark Solway

With the sixteenth overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, the Washington Commanders selected cornerback Emmanuel Forbes out of Mississippi State. Washington definitely need the secondary help – it was one of their top needs. He was the second cornerback taken in the draft, behind only Devon Witherspoon.

Was Forbes a reach over Christian Gonzalez and Joey Porter Jr. who were both still on the board? Only time will tell. Gonzalez got snapped up the very next pick after Washington made their selection.
