The Washington Commanders make their preseason debut at MetLife Stadium, taking on the New York Jets.

The Commanders saw another significant change this offseason, with head coach Ron Rivera agreeing to part ways with the franchise after a rough couple of seasons. The new ownership group brought Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn to take as head coach as the team transitions into a new era.

QB Sam Howell didn’t do himself any favors with his sack fest last season, as the 2022 fifth-round pick was traded to the Seattle Seahawks. The Commanders sent Howell, a 2023 fourth-round pick (WR Troy Franklin), and a 2023 sixth-round pick (OG Sataoa Laumea) to Seattle in exchange for a 2023 third-round (S Calen Bullock) and a fifth-round pick (WR Ainias Smith).

With Howell gone, the Commanders selected quarterback Jayden Daniels with the second overall draft pick. He is expected to take over for the franchise in Week 1. The Commanders bolstered their RB group by adding Austin Ekeler behind Brian Robinson Jr. However, outside of Terry McLaurin and Jahan Dotson, Washington’s pass catchers have much to prove in 2024 to make Daniels’ life easier.

The signing of TE Zach Ertz adds some experience to the group, but will the veteran overcome his recent injury bug and contribute to the roster? ‘

The offensive line is still an area of concern. While Howell’s sacks were not always a result of poor blocking, their contributions to the offense were mediocre.

The Commanders have tried to bring in talent to improve the defense, but holes on the defensive line and secondary hinder this squad’s continued defensive success. 2024 will be a year of growth for Washington unless Daniels can have a Stroud-like start under center.

From rookie to veteran, it’s playoff win or bust for the Jets in 2024. While it looks like he won’t get much preseason time, Aaron Rodgers is back and ready to go for the Jets after a disastrous Week 1 in 2023 when he tore his Achilles. With Rodgers getting another shot to show New York he can lead the franchise, the Jets have gone boom or bust with their offseason additions.

Starting on the offensive side, it was evident the protection from the offensive line was a problem, so the Jets signed left tackle Tyron Smith in free agency. While the two-time first-team All-Pro tackle has only allowed five sacks in his 13-year career, four of those sacks came in the last three years, and he hasn’t played an entire season since 2015.

Another offseason addition, former Los Angeles Charger WR Mike Williams, has been a reliable deep threat throughout his seven-year career with an average of 13.65 air yards per target and 15.6 yards per reception. However, the last two seasons have been marred by a high ankle sprain and torn ACL. Will the WR bounce back to his usual self?

Life with Rodgers hasn’t entirely gone to plan. While Jets fans will be spared the doom and gloom of another Zach Wilson-led season, staying healthy will be the most significant factor for a successful Jets season.

Bringing in a solid backup eases some of that stress, and getting to see veteran signal-caller Tyrod Taylor do his thing in the preseason should ease some minds if Rodgers does miss a game or two.
