Which Washington Commanders players need to put together a monster offseason in pursuit of improved fortunes under Dan Quinn in 2024?

And just like that, it's back down to business.

The Washington Commanders are holding voluntary team workouts on Tuesday to officially kick off their off-season program. Some absentees will emerge, but a strong attendance is expected as everyone looks to get on the same page to potentially hit the ground running under new head coach Dan Quinn in 2024.

It's an exciting time for the franchise. Adam Peters worked frantically to revamp the roster during free agency. More additions will arrive - including a new quarterback - via the 2024 NFL Draft in a few short weeks. With raised expectations comes increased pressure, but there is a nice blend of youth and experience for Quinn to mold throughout the team's preparation period.

A fascinating few months await. Looking at how things stand right now, here are four Commanders players who need a monster off-season in 2024.

Andrew Wylie - Commanders OT

The pressure is on Andrew Wylie after a largely underwhelming first season with the Washington Commanders. His production flashed moments of promise, but there were times he looked incapable of coping with more explosive edge rushers when left on an island. Even with stud right guard Sam Cosmi alongside him, the veteran's inconsistencies mean the jury is still out.

Washington hasn't done anything to rectify the tackle positions as yet, although there's a good chance reinforcements will arrive via the draft. This need is more glaring on the blindside, so Wylie could get another shot at proving his worth under Dan Quinn's staff next time around.

For Wylie to improve his performance levels, he needs a strong off-season under his belt. He's got enough to suggest progress can be made, but anything less than imposing himself fully in the months ahead wouldn't be the biggest confidence boost.
