"Peters emphasized winning now, signing veterans to short-term deals and striking two bold trades that signified Washington's intent to improve on its NFC Championship Game appearance. It backfired horribly, leaving the front-office leader facing the prospect of consolidation and reflection this time around. Fans expect significant changes to the playing personnel. The Commanders only have two picks in the first four rounds of the 2026 NFL Draft, but they could potentially have upwards of $100 million spend in free agency."
"Fans expect significant changes to the playing personnel. Peters will need every cent, especially considering the lack of legitimate quality or depth across the roster. One cannot accuse Peters of attaching sentiment to his decisions. He is calculated, ruthless, and everything in between. Aside from a few cornerstone pieces, everyone should be on edge. Some decisions will be difficult, but others already seem foregone."
The Washington Commanders failed to meet lofty expectations in 2025 despite a sensational surge in Dan Quinn's first season. General manager Adam Peters prioritized winning now by signing veterans to short-term deals and executing two bold trades, but those moves backfired and left the roster thin. Fans expect significant changes to the playing personnel. The Commanders possess only two picks in the first four rounds of the 2026 draft but could have around $100 million to spend in free agency. Peters must maximize that cap space to add youth, quality, and depth. Seven players have been identified as having no business returning in 2026.
