Now that the sale of the franchise is complete, Washington can move forward for the season. Off the field, they are now moving in the right direction, and on the field, they are as well.
With second-year quarterback Sam Howell given first chance at winning the starting job over veteran Jacoby Brissett, Washington's offense, led by new offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy are an unknown quantity.
With a stout defense that was ranked in the top 10 last season for points allowed and an offense that many hope will be better than they were under Scott Turner, Washington has reason to be optimistic about the upcoming season.
In the NFC East, many have Washington finishing at the bottom as the Eagles and Cowboys are genuine Super Bowl contenders, while the Giants are thought to again improve.
But what about Washington?
The Commanders have all the pieces to make a playoff push, and with the sale of the team finally done, it is clear skies ahead for the Commanders, which could result in a playoff appearance.
