There are 90 players on the offseason roster after the Commanders’ 5 draft picks and 10 UDFAs
With the start of rookie minicamp on Thursday, the Washington Commanders officially announced the signing of 10 undrafted college free agents to bring the offseason roster to 90 players. That number does not include Sam Cosmi, who suffered an ACL tear during the January playoffs and is expected to open training camp on the PUP list, but it does include T.J. Maguranyaanga, a former rugby player who joined the Washington roster via the International Player Pathway program.
Aside from signing these 10 UDFAs, Washington has only made two (related) roster moves since the draft, releasing kicker Zane Gonzalez and signing veteran kicker Matt Gay as his replacement.
While Adam Peters will undoubtedly continue working to enhance the roster, we now have a pretty complete picture of this year’s training camp roster.
The numbers that appear beside some players’ names are 2025 cap hits per Over the Cap. I have not included cap hits below $1.5m.
The Commanders currently have 42 defensive players, 45 offensive players and 3 special teams players.
Please note that assigned positions and color coding are my own personal opinions. They do not necessarily represent the thinking of Washington’s coaches or front office, nor are they necessarily consistent with fan consensus. This chart represents my personal interpretation, and may not reflect the thoughts of other writers on Hogs Haven. Finally, when it comes to backup players, I don’t put much effort into making sure that they are on the right or left or behind the specific player that they backup. I mostly just try to fit everyone on the chart efficiently as the goal is to visually represent the offseason roster and not predict regular season usage.
There are a number of position groups that have major questions that will not be answered until the second preseaon game or later. Most prominent among these is the offensive line where the only two positions that seem to have clear starters are center and left tackle. Last year’s starting left guard, Nick Allegretti could hold onto that role or could be relegated to backup duty. The team’s starting right guard, Sam Cosmi, tore his ACL in the playoffs and it’s impossible to know when he’ll play again, but it won’t be soon. Three players — Andrew Wylie, Brandon Coleman and 1st round draft pick Josh Conerly — have the opportunity to earn the starting right tackle role, but each could also compete for either starting guard spot.
Normally, I don’t list drafted rookies ahead of established veterans, but in this case, I plugged Conerly in as the starting right tackle, with Coleman shown as the permanent starting LG ahead of Allegretti and Wylie as the temporary stand-in for the injured Cosmi. This is not a prediction; it’s simply the final result of my efforts to graphically represent the team’s roster in the most meaningful...
