"It's going to be a busy offseason for the Washington Commanders. Adam Peters will need to address the many holes on a roster that was one of the NFL's most disappointing in 2025. Washington went 5-12, falling woefully short of their Super Bowl aspirations and playoff expectations. Cracks in the group Peters put together began to show, namely that the Commanders were simply too old."
"He missed eight games with a fractured fibula, and even when healthy, he was largely a non-factor. He recorded one sack, one forced fumble, and 38 tackles on the campaign. Between Harris and 2023 second-round pick Quan Martin, Washington's production - or lack thereof - at safety was one of its biggest weaknesses. Ideally, Peters will go about solving that this offseason by signing one new face and drafting another, potentially Ohio State prospect Caleb Downs at No. 7 overall."
The Washington Commanders finished 5-12 in 2025, far below Super Bowl and playoff expectations. The roster showed age-related decline that contributed to the collapse. Strong safety Will Harris signed a two-year, $8 million deal but missed eight games with a fractured fibula and produced one sack, one forced fumble and 38 tackles. Safety production alongside 2023 second-round pick Quan Martin was a major weakness. Potential offseason moves include signing a veteran safety, drafting a prospect such as Caleb Downs at No. 7, retaining special-teamer Jeremy Reaves, reducing Martin to backup status, and releasing or trading Harris for cap relief or draft capital.
