"The Washington Commanders didn't come close to meeting expectations in 2025. One can place much of the blame on the countless injuries to key personnel that held them back, but even in the summer, something didn't feel right about this squad. General manager Adam Peters hit on his two trades, but gambling on free-agent veterans past their prime failed. The Commanders need a complete change in approach this offseason."
"Peters knows what should be done. Washington cannot be the NFL's oldest roster in 2026. They have to get younger, faster, and more dynamic. It'll be a difficult challenge, but the Commanders have plenty of financial resources to fill key holes with veterans boasting long-term upside. Fans are cautiously optimistic. They remain confident in Peters, but the pressure has increased."
The Washington Commanders failed to meet expectations in 2025 amid numerous injuries and inconsistent roster construction. General manager Adam Peters made two successful trades but signing aging free agents failed to produce expected returns. The roster remains among the NFL's oldest and requires a shift toward younger, faster, and more dynamic players. Washington has financial flexibility to acquire veterans with long-term upside while prioritizing youth and speed. Fan confidence in Peters is cautious but waning as pressure increases on his job security. A sweeping offseason overhaul could cut several current players, with continuity on the offensive line as a central concern.
