The Washington Commanders stunned fans by abruptly firing tight ends coach Ben Steele just before training camp, offering no explanation beyond a cryptic social media statement. Steele, who’d only been with the team since March and helped turn Trey McBride into an All-Pro with the Cardinals, was arrested in June on DUI and resisting arrest charges. The Commanders’ silence — including removing his bio — fueled wild speculation, especially since they didn’t offer a farewell, which is standard for departures. Compounding the drama, they simultaneously signed Chig Okonkwo to a massive three-year, $30M deal to fill the void left by an injured starter — a move that signals both urgency and a bold gamble as the season looms.
