The Commanders will be unveiling a new look next month.
The team shared on social media that they will be revealing new uniforms on April 15. They did not tease any details about what the uniforms will look like, but the return of a familiar look last season might provide some hint.
Washington debuted an alternate “Super Bowl era” look that brought back the look of the helmets and uniforms that the franchise wore while winning three titles under head coach Joe Gibbs.
The answer to whether that was a clue about the direction the franchise will be taking will come ahead of the draft when the Commanders fully reveal their new togs.
Free agent cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon is visiting the Commanders on Thursday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Media reports.
The 49ers drafted Witherspoon in the third round in 2017 when current Commanders General Manager Adam Peters was a personnel executive with the team.
Witherspoon, 31, spent four seasons with the 49ers, two with the Steelers and three with the Rams.
In 2025, he started the first two games before injuring his shoulder in the Week 2 win over the Titans. Witherspoon returned in Week 13, was inactive in Weeks 15 and 16 and returned to the lineup for three games before re-injuring his shoulder. The second stint on injured reserve ended his season.
He totaled eight tackles, one interception and two passes defensed in six regular-season games.
In his career, Witherspoon has appeared in 96 games with 64 starts and has recorded 243 tackles, 13 interceptions, 60 passes defensed and one forced fumble.
Ohio State wide receiver Carnell Tate ran a 4.52-second 40-yard dash at the Scouting Combine. The time is not expected to hurt his draft status as a top-10 pick.
That’s why he decided not to run at Ohio State’s Pro Day on Wednesday, saying no teams have questioned him about his speed.
Instead, Tate did only position drills, catching passes from Julian Sayin.
“I definitely think it can be overvalued,” Tate said of the 40-yard dash, via Daniel Oyefusi of TheAthletic.com. “Like a couple of great NFL receivers right now like Puka [Nacua] and Jaxon [Smith-Njigba] like they probably didn’t run the fastest of times, but they’re the two best receivers in the league right now. It just depends on who’s looking at it and how y’all want to take it.”
Tate said he has top-30 draft visits scheduled with the Titans, Saints, Commanders, Giants and Chiefs. He has already visited the Browns. All of those teams draft in the top nine, with the Titans holding the fourth overall pick.
The Giants are signing long snapper Zach Triner, Aaron Wilson of KPRC reports.
The team needed a long snapper after Casey Kreiter left this offseason.
Triner appeared in only one game last season, long snapping for the Commanders in Week 13 against the Broncos. He played eight snaps.
He was the Bucs’ long snapper for most of the previous six years.
Triner, 35, played 81 games for the Bucs and has played 85 in his career. He was with the Dolphins for three games in 2024.
One of the top receivers in this year’s draft has been a busy pre-draft schedule, including meeting with an NFC South team in the top 10.
Via Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, former USC receiver Makai Lemon is working out for the Saints on Tuesday.
New Orleans has the No. 8 overall pick this year.
Additionally, Lemon has worked out for the Commanders, who select at No. 7 overall. He visited with the Browns (No. 6) last week and will visit with the Titans (No. 4) this week.
Lemon became one of the top prospects for this year’s draft by catching 79 passes for 1,156 yards with 11 touchdowns as a junior in 2025. He caught 52 passes for 764 yards with three TDs in 2024.
