"Adam Peters made a significant impact on the Washington Commanders during his first year as general manager. He made some bold choices, and the results were immediate. This sleeping giant went from a perennial struggler to the NFC Championship game, propelling them back onto the national stage in the blink of an eye. Unfortunately, things have not gone as well this time around."
"With the Commanders seemingly ready to win now, Peters signed accomplished veterans who've been deep into the postseason. In some cases, they've gone right to the mountain top and won it all. Cornerback Jonathan Jones did that twice during his prolific spell with the New England Patriots, so hopes were high that he could bring this winning mindset to Washington and help them get over the hump."
"Jones struggled to generate any early momentum over the opening two games. The defensive back went to injured reserve after that, not returning until Week 7. He became part of the rotation almost immediately, and there is a good chance he'll be a focal point down the stretch with Marshon Lattimore and Trey Amos out for the year. Still, the consistency must improve exponentially to improve his chances of an extended stay beyond 2025."
Adam Peters transformed the Washington Commanders from perennial losers to an NFC Championship contender in his first year as general manager. The team retained most contributors and pursued aggressive trades and veteran free agents to win now, but injuries and an aging roster undermined performance this season. Cornerback Jonathan Jones, a two-time Super Bowl champion, has failed to provide consistent play after an early injury and rotation role, reducing his value as an extension candidate. The roster requires youth and significant changes are expected in the 2026 offseason to address durability, age and long-term competitiveness.
