Commanders' DC hopes crushed as AFC giant moves on coveted candidate

The Washington Commanders are taking their time before appointing their new defensive coordinator. But with several more vacancies opening around the NFL since Dan Quinn fired Joe Whitt Jr., the head coach would be wise to act swiftly to secure his preferred target.

However, the Commanders' dream of luring Brian Flores to Washington seems to be fading rapidly amid growing buzz elsewhere.

Nobody thought the Commanders would even get an interview with Flores, but they did. He was willing to hear Quinn out. He also knows general manager Adam Peters from their time together on the New England Patriots.
