ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Commanders open the 2024 regular season against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sept. 8 at Raymond James Stadium.

It's likely more than 50% of the players on the roster will be newcomers. Washington has multiple high draft picks from the previous several years who could be in trouble because they haven't proven themselves. If they no longer fit, the Commanders would be wise to shop some of them, whether it's linebacker Jamin Davis, working as an edge rusher, or defensive tackle Phidarian Mathis, who hasn't made an impact. Adding veteran leadership was a major priority, which is why players such as linebacker Bobby Wagner, tight end Zach Ertz and running back Austin Ekeler were signed.

Here is a 53-man roster projection as the Commanders open training camp.
