Source: Washington Commanders agree to terms with free-agent OL Andrew Norwell


The Washington Commanders filled a hole at guard, agreeing to terms with free agent Andrew Norwell on Thursday, according to a source close to the situation. He is expected to arrive at Washington's facility later in the day. Terms were not yet disclosed. Washington lost both starting guards this week; it cut left guard Ereck Flowers on Wednesday, and right guard Brandon Scherff signed a free-agent deal with Jacksonville. Norwell played for Washington coach Ron Rivera from 2014 to '17 with the Carolina Panthers before signing with Jacksonville. He started nine games as a rookie and then became Carolina's full-time starter at left guard for the next three years before signing with the Jaguars. He has started 111 games.

Congress says Washington Commanders appear to have broken financial laws, owe money to visiting teams, season-ticket holders


The Washington Commanders failed to refund security deposits, concealed revenue and kept two sets of financial books, the U.S. House Oversight and Reform Committee alleged in a letter it sent to the Federal Trade Commission. The 20-page letter detailed what the committee said was a multiyear process of altering records to hide revenue that led to more profits for the organization. The allegation of financial improprieties were made by former longtime employee Jason Friedman who, on March 14, met with members of the committee as part of its investigation into the team's workplace culture. Washington denied the allegations and referred to a statement the team released on March 31. A team spokesperson said in that release, "The team categorically denies any suggestion of financial impropriety of any kind at any time. We adhere to strict internal processes that are consistent with industry and accounting standards, are audited annually by a globally respected independent auditing firm, and are also subject to regular audits by the NFL. We continue to cooperate fully with the Committee's work."

Washington Commanders strongly deny financial misconduct in letter to Federal Trade Commission


The Washington Commanders on Monday strongly disputed claims of financial improprieties in a letter to the Federal Trade Commission, laying out the case for why there should be no investigation by the government institution. The 22-page letter, written by team attorney Jordan Siev and addressed to FTC chair Lina M. Khan and obtained by ESPN, rebutted allegations by former team employee Jason Friedman that the team had engaged in nefarious financial practices, impacting consumers and the NFL, to increase their revenue. In addition to the letter, there were 83 pages of signed affidavits, emails and texts. The FTC acknowledged receiving the letter, but typically does not state whether or not it will investigate the matter. It also could be turned over to the attorney generals in Maryland, Washington, D.C., and Virginia; all were copied on the letter to the FTC.

Washington Commanders bringing back 87-year-old marching band after 2-year hiatus


The Washington Commanders reached back into their past to continue a tradition that became a hallmark at home games, restoring their marching band after a two-year absence, the team announced Thursday. The marching band has been a franchise staple since the team moved to Washington in 1937 and became famous for playing its fight song after touchdowns. They became commonplace in the Washington area, routinely marching in area parades. The band, however, had not had a presence over the past two seasons -- first because the pandemic led to no fans in the stadium (save for one game) and then because the program was paused while the team rebranded its name and logo.

In a statement, Washington coach Ron Rivera said he met with Del Rio on Friday morning to express his disappointment in the coordinator's comments. Del Rio also will address the team Tuesday, when the Commanders will begin their mandatory three-day minicamp.
