Daronte Jones has already begun to implement his strategy for the Washington Commanders' defense. Several assistants, including team legend Ryan Kerrigan, have been made surplus to requirements on the staffing side. There will also be numerous changes to the playing personnel in the weeks and months ahead.
Not many should be guaranteed a place in the plans. Washington's defense was nothing short of abysmal in 2025, leading to Joe Whitt Jr.'s firing. For Jones' grand plans to work, there needs to be a complete refresh of the options available to him.
Anything less is organizational malpractice, given how much is at stake.
