"When the Commanders let Jeremy Chinn leave for the Las Vegas Raiders in free agency, fans were disappointed. The former Southern Illinois standout was a revelation in 2024, doing more than enough for another financial commitment. Peters didn't think he was worth what the AFC West club was willing to pay. And he also thought he could get similar production at a lower cost from Will Harris."
"Even though an early injury derailed his momentum considerably, Harris' performances have been inconsistent at best since returning to the lineup. There are several good moments, but the consistency is nowhere near the level required. And there is no more time to alter perceptions. Harris has one year left on his contract, counting $5 million on the salary cap with no guaranteed dollars left. Massive changes are coming to a safety unit that hasn't even met modest expectations."
"Peters needs to be ruthless and aggressive in equal measure this offseason. The Commanders also need to get younger across the board, with the NFL's oldest roster in 2025 providing almost no real hope for the future. And this should all start on the defensive side of the football. There is no room for sentiment. If that means upsetting some established stars along the way, so be it,"
Adam Peters faces a critical offseason that requires ruthless, aggressive roster moves to push the Washington Commanders back toward playoff contention. The roster ranks among the NFL's oldest for 2025 and needs youth infusion, especially on defense. Jeremy Chinn left in free agency after a breakout 2024, and Peters opted to replace him with Will Harris at lower cost. Harris suffered an early injury and has been inconsistent since returning. Harris carries one year remaining on his deal, a $5 million cap hit and no guaranteed money. Significant changes to the safety unit are expected as evaluation intensifies.
