The Washington Commanders are gearing up for the 2023 NFL season, and fans are already buzzing with anticipation. Sure some of of the buzz is wether or not Dan Snyder will have sold the team by then, but hey buzz is buzz.

It will be released some time in May. Exactly when, is more top secret than how they get the caramel in the Caramilk bar.

The Commanders DO already know who their opponents will be – it’s just a question of when they will meet each opponent.  Read more... (464 words, 1 image, estimated 1:51 mins reading time)
