The Washington Commanders are expected to move on from defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. at some stage during the offseason. Anything less would be extraordinary after how things unfolded throughout the campaign, but what comes next is even more critical. Whitt got demoted from defensive play-calling duties before Washington's international game against the Miami Dolphins in Madrid. Quinn had to take charge, and although improvements weren't plentiful afterward, additional energy and outside-the-box thinking are imperative.

"I thought he did some good things," Gannon said of Harrison. "We moved him around the formation. He scored points for us. He got open, caught it. I don't think he's hit his ceiling and look forward to the future with that."

I think it's the best thing for our team this year, Honestly. I think we're at a good point with our health. We're at a good point with our development and I think that's this year with our team. It's the best thing to do for our guys.
