The 2024 season is the Washington Commanders' 93rd season in the National Football League (NFL). It is the first under the tandem of general manager Adam Peters and head coach Dan Quinn after the Commanders finished with a 4–13 record in 2023, with head coach Ron Rivera and his staff being dismissed following its conclusion. Peters had been the assistant general manager of the San Francisco 49ers since 2021, with Quinn serving as Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator during the same period. Additional changes to the coaching staff included the hiring of former Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury as offensive coordinator and Cowboys secondary coach Joe Whitt Jr. as defensive coordinator. The team had a 7–2 start to the season, their best since 1996.

The season was the Commanders' eighth-straight having a different quarterback start opening week, with 2023 Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels selected second overall in the 2024 NFL draft after Sam Howell had been traded to the Seattle Seahawks. Daniels was named Offensive Rookie of the Month for September after setting the single-game rookie completion percentage record and completing the highest number of passes (82.1%) over a four-game span in NFL history. The season also featured the Madhouse in Maryland, a game-winning 52-yard Hail Mary pass as time expired from Daniels to wide receiver Noah Brown against the Chicago Bears in Week 8.

Season summary

The season was the first under general manager Adam Peters and head coach Dan Quinn

Head coach Ron Rivera was fired following a 4–13 record in the 2023 season, with team owner Josh Harris employing Bob Myers and Rick Spielman as advisors in search of the next general manager (GM) and head coach.[1][2] San Francisco 49ers assistant general manager Adam Peters was first hired as GM in January, who hired Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator and former Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn for the same role the following month.[3][4] The front office saw several changes under the direction of Peters, including hiring Detroit Lions executives Lance Newmark and Brandon Sosna respectively as assistant GM and senior VP of football operations,[5][6] longtime NFL executive Dave Gardi as senior vice president of football initiatives,[7] and former Carolina Panthers GM Scott Fitterer as a personnel executive.[8] Other changes included the departure of president Jason Wright and personnel executives Eric Stokes and Chris Polian,[9][10][11] with ex-GM Martin Mayhew being reassigned to senior personnel executive and ex-VP of football and player personnel Marty Hurney becoming an advisor.[5]

The Commanders selected quarterback Jayden Daniels second overall in the 2024 draft.

Coaching changes included former Texas Tech Red Raiders and Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury as offensive coordinator, Cowboys secondary coach Joe Whitt Jr. as defensive coordinator, and former Seattle Seahawks special teams coordinator Larry Izzo in the same role.[12][13][14] Offensive additions included assistant head coach and pass game coordinator Brian Johnson, run game coordinator Anthony Lynn, assistant quarterbacks coach David Blough, tight ends coach David Raih, offensive line coaches Bobby Johnson and Darnell Stapleton, with quarterbacks coach Tavita Pritchard and wide receivers coach Bobby Engram being the only holdovers.[14] Defensive additions included pass game coordinator Jason Simmons, defensive line coaches Darryl Tapp and Sharrif Floyd, linebackers coach Ken Norton Jr., defensive back coaches Tommy Donatell and William Gay, and senior assistant John Pagano, with assistant linebackers and pass rush specialist coach Ryan Kerrigan being the only holdover.[14]

The team's roster also saw major turnover, with the Commanders having the lowest amount of returning players from 2023 after signing a league-high 26 free agents.[15][16] The team traded previous season's starting quarterback Sam Howell to the Seattle Seahawks and 2022 first round wide receiver Jahan Dotson to the Philadelphia Eagles for mid-round draft picks.[17][18] Notable acquisitions included quarterback Marcus Mariota, running backs Austin Ekeler and Jeremy McNichols, tight end Zach Ertz, wide receivers Olamide Zaccheaus and Noah Brown, guard Nick Allegretti, center Tyler Biadasz, linebackers Bobby Wagner and Frankie Luvu, defensive ends Dorance Armstrong, Clelin Ferrell, and Dante Fowler, cornerback Noah Igbinoghene, safety Jeremy Chinn, long snapper Tyler Ott, and kicker Austin Seibert.[19] The Commanders selected quarterback Jayden Daniels in the 2024 draft with the second overall pick, with later selections including defensive tackle Johnny Newton, cornerback Mike Sainristil, offensive tackle Brandon Coleman, and wide receiver Luke McCaffrey.[20] Notable undrafted free agents included quarterback Sam Hartman, tight end Colson Yankoff, and safety Tyler Owens.[21][22] At the trade deadline in early November, the Commanders acquired cornerback Marshon Lattimore from the New Orleans Saints in exchange for third, fourth, and sixth round picks in the 2025 NFL draft.[23]
