FEB 10 BIENIEMY REVEALS NEXT STEP Former Washington Commanders Eric Bieniemy is not currently working for any NFL team, and it may stay that way for the 2024 season.

ESPN’s Dan Graziano is reporting that Bieniemy could either return to the Chiefs, where he coached from 2013-22 and won two Super Bowls as an offensive coordinator … or he could take 2024 off and make himself a top candidate for the 2025 season.

It was announced earlier this week that Bieniemy would not return to Washington when Dan Quinn was hired. Kliff Kingsbury is set to succeed him.

FEB 9 LARRY IZZO TO COMMANDERS The Washington Commanders continue to fortify their coaching staff.

According to The Athletic’s Ben Standig, the team is hiring Larry Izzo as their special teams coordinator.

Izzo, 49, has coached special teams with the New York Giants (2011-15), Houston Texans (2016-17) and Seattle Seahawks (2018-23). Now, he joins Dan Quinn in the nation’s capital.

FEB 8 BRIAN JOHNSON TO COMMANDERS The Washington Commanders are looking at a coach from one of their rivals.

According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the Commanders are hiring former Eagles offensive coordinator Brian Johnson to their staff. While he won’t be in the same role that he was in Philadelphia, he will be a “prominent” part of Dan Quinn’s staff.

FEB 5 EAGLES TO PLAY IN SAO PAULO The NFL is playing its first-ever game in Brazil this year, and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell announced Monday that the Philadelphia Eagles would host their season opener in South America.

The Commanders, as their NFC East partner, have the potential to play their road game against the Eagles in Week 1 in Sao Paulo.

The game will take place on Friday, Sept. 6 to help kick off the first weekend of the 2024 season.

JAN 28 CHIEFS HEAD TO SUPER BOWL WITHOUT BIENIEMY The Kansas City Chiefs faced adversity this season after longtime offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy joined the Washington Commanders. However, they were able to persevere after a 17-10 win against the Baltimore Ravens in Sunday’s AFC Championship.

After Ron Rivera was fired, Eric Bieniemy’s status for the upcoming season is up in the air, though a return to the Commanders isn’t out of the question.

JAN 24 LENO HONORED BY NFL Washington Commanders offensive lineman Charles Leno Jr. is being recognized by the league for his charity work in the local communities.

Leno Jr. is among five finalists for the Alan Page NFLPA Community Award alongside Calais Campbell (Atlanta Falcons), Damar Hamlin (Buffalo Bills), Frank Ragnow (Detroit Lions) and Harrison Phillips (Minnesota Vikings).

The winner of the award will be announced at the NFL Honors in Las Vegas on Feb. 7 and will receive $100,000 to the charity of their choosing.
