4 Commanders entering 2023 offseason on a short leash
By Dean Jones
Which Washington Commanders are entering the 2023 off-season period on an extremely short leash?
There’s more optimism surrounding the Washington Commanders right now than in quite some time. This stems largely from the arrival of Eric Bieniemy from the Kansas City Chiefs, who could completely shift the culture and landscape not only of the offense but across the entire organization following such a turbulent year.
Getting Bieniemy is the start of what’s going to be a dramatic offseason in Washington full of twists and turns. Something that could enhance their hopes of securing postseason football for the second time in three years if everything goes well.
Of course, there are many hurdles and tough decisions to tackle before then. And as we are about to discuss, one major domino could also fall and remove a dark cloud hanging over the franchise.
Without further ado, here are four Commanders who enter the 2023 off-season period on a short leash.
Commander No. 1
Dan Snyder – Commanders co-owner
As stated previously, there is a big domino falling. That is, of course, the potential sale of the Washington Commanders by Dan Snyder.
Even though Snyder feels like he’s being pushed out, the controversial figure cannot be surprised considering the disgrace he’s brought to the league over the last year. This represents the fresh start everyone associated with the Commanders has been looking for.
Whether it’s Jeff Bezos or someone else, Snyder’s leash is short. One that could be nonexistent by the time training camp rolls around.
