"Speculation was rampant that general manager Adam Peters might offload assets, but either no interest materialized or no offer met their demands. That left some fans disappointed. They expected the Commanders to sell, given that head coach Dan Quinn's squad is 3-6 and dealing with some significant injury problems. It's also worth remembering that Peters has just six selections in the 2026 NFL Draft right now, which isn't ideal given how much hard work lies ahead in Washington."
"Whatever roster reset Peters has in mind will have to wait until the offseason. The Commanders have six picks and $84.14 million in projected salary-cap space with just 34 players under contract. A frantic few months await when the 2025 campaign concludes, but those currently on the books are going to get a prolonged audition to prove their worth over the second half of 2025."
"NFL insider Jordan Schultz named Nick Allegretti among the players that the Washington Commanders were aiming to part ways with before the deadline. That didn't happen, and general manager Adam Peters is now left with an expensive fringe option for the second half of 2025. It gets worse. Allegretti's contract doesn't run out until 2027. The chances of him seeing this deal through are remote, especially if Chris Paul continues to perform."
The Washington Commanders made no trades at the deadline despite speculation that general manager Adam Peters might move assets. The team sits 3-6 under head coach Dan Quinn and faces significant injury issues. Peters currently holds only six selections in the 2026 NFL Draft and has $84.14 million in projected salary-cap space with 34 players under contract. No roster reset occurred before the deadline, so decisions will shift to the offseason. Several players avoided deadline trades but remain on the hot seat and will receive extended auditions during the second half of 2025 as the front office evaluates options.
