"Adam Peters should realize by now just how much work there is ahead of him this offseason. The general manager pushed all his chips into the middle after the Washington Commanders reached the NFC Championship game in Year 1 of this ambitious project. He was correct to do so, but the returns haven't been favorable. The Commanders look old, slow, and uninspired."
"Washington only has six selections in the 2026 NFL Draft, which isn't ideal. They have the most pending free agents of any club, and their roster is the NFL's oldest right now. Fortunately, the Commanders are projected to have more than $81 available salary-cap space as things stand, with only 34 players under contract. Peters has his work cut out. The Commanders aren't going to solve every issue, but the time for half-measures is over."
"The Washington Commanders were expecting Nick Allegretti to become their long-term starter at the left guard position. His starring effort for the Kansas City Chiefs deep into the playoffs in 2023 played a leading role in their Super Bowl success. That was enough for general manager Adam Peters to hand him a decent contract in free agency. Allegretti hasn't met expectations. His first season was littered with inconsistent production,"
Adam Peters invested heavily after a Year 1 NFC Championship run, but roster performance has declined and key players look old, slow, and uninspired. Injuries have contributed, but they cannot fully excuse the decline. The team has only six 2026 draft selections, the most pending free agents in the league, and the oldest roster currently. The Commanders project more than $81 million in available cap space with only 34 players under contract, creating opportunity for significant moves. Aggressive planning and decisive roster changes are necessary to avoid shrinking margins for error and to reshape the franchise.
