"It's easy to be down on the Washington Commanders these days. Expectations of going deep into the postseason have entirely fallen by the wayside, and there are now far more questions than answers about the franchise's current direction. The Commanders are 3-9. Injuries have decimated their hopes. Aging players are regressing at an alarming rate. Young breakout candidates haven't met their billing. There were signs of life against the Denver Broncos on Sunday Night Football, but a critical offseason awaits general manager Adam Peters with many unknowns on the playing personnel."
"Peters has the most pending free agents of any NFL club. He's got plenty of salary-cap space but only six draft selections - two of which are in the first four rounds. There is a lot of hard work ahead, but it hasn't been all doom and gloom by any stretch of the imagination. Some have performed above expectations. Others have impressively met their specific targets. That shouldn't go unnoticed by Peters when the time comes to decide who stays or goes this offseason."
The Washington Commanders sit 3-9 amid significant injuries, aging players regressing, and young breakout candidates failing to meet expectations. General manager Adam Peters faces a critical offseason with the most pending free agents in the NFL, substantial salary-cap space, and only six draft selections, including two in the first four rounds. Some players have outperformed expectations while others have met targets, creating tough roster decisions. Tight end Zach Ertz remains a reliable pass-catcher and locker-room leader as rookie Ben Sinnott sees limited involvement. Ertz could be offered a one-year deal to preserve continuity around quarterback Jayden Daniels.
