Washington Commanders Rebuild Offensive Line

Washington Commanders Rebuild Offensive Line

The Washington Commanders' offensive line has been ranked 22nd among all 32 NFL teams.

What happened?

The Commanders released starting center Tyler Biadasz ahead of free agency in March.

They pursued Tyler Linderbaum but he received a record-breaking contract from the Raiders.

Why it matters for Washington Commanders

The team extended veteran Nick Allegretti for one season and he likely starts at center in 2026.

Laremy Tunsil was extended this offseason, making him the NFL's highest-paid offensive lineman.

What comes next?

The Commanders will face the Philadelphia Eagles on September 13.

As of now, the team stands 13th in the National Football Conference with a 6-11 record.

Laremy Tunsil failed to make the Pro Bowl for the first time since 2021.

Right tackle Josh Conerly Jr. needs to improve after allowing 8 sacks and 43 total pressures last year.

Conerly has reshaped his body this offseason, working with Tunsil.

The Commanders' offensive line should be considered a strength ahead of 2026.

But there are plenty of questions, especially with the center position.

The team re-signed left guard Chris Paul on a one-year deal.

He will compete with Brandon Coleman to start at left guard.

Sam Cosmi and Josh Conerly Jr. will start at right guard and right tackle respectively.

The Commanders are looking to improve their offense after a disappointing 2025 season.

They will need their offensive line to step up if they want to compete in the NFC East.

The team's next game is against the Philadelphia Eagles on September 13, 2026.
