"Not much has gone right for the Washington Commanders this season. The team is decimated by injuries, and all hopes they had of making the playoffs once again are long gone. Regardless of how things go from here, general manager Adam Peters has a significant amount of hard work ahead when the offseason commences. Peters gambled on aging veterans. He ran it back with almost the same group, making two bold splashes in the trade market while spending big money on just one free agent."
"The Commanders haven't got much going on the ground this season. Austin Ekeler suffered a season-ending injury in Week 2. Seventh-round rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt's meteoric early rise has tailed off dramatically, and he lost his starting role to Chris Rodriguez Jr. in Week 10. Jeremy McNichols is a dependable backup and nothing more. Washington needs a prolific backfield threat to go alongside quarterback Jayden Daniels."
Washington Commanders season has been derailed by injuries and fading playoff hopes, leaving general manager Adam Peters with significant offseason work. Peters retained most of the previous roster, made two trades, and spent heavily on one free agent, decisions that did not yield the desired results. The backfield lacks a consistent threat after Austin Ekeler's season-ending injury and mixed performances from rookies and backups. A top-tier running back is a priority to complement quarterback Jayden Daniels. Breece Hall emerges as a prime free-agent target but could command around $48 million on a four-year contract, presenting both opportunity and risk.
