"The Washington Commanders are set to undergo another roster revamp. General manager Adam Peters has cash to spend, and several respected insiders around the league are expecting fireworks during his third recruitment period at the helm. Washington has $74.55 million in projected cap space. That could surge to more than $100 million once extensions, releases, and restructures are confirmed. Being anything but aggressive is not an option, which could set the table for a little extra freedom during the 2026 NFL Draft."
"The Commanders only have six selections - two of which are in the first four rounds. Peters cannot proceed with a critical need. That's only going to cloud his judgment, so putting the correct pieces in place during free agency is imperative. If Peters can achieve this objective, which couldn't be entirely dismissed given the available resources, that changes the draft landscape considerably. It would allow the Commanders to select the best available prospects regardless of need."
The Washington Commanders enter a major roster overhaul with roughly $74.55 million in projected cap space, potentially rising past $100 million after moves. Aggressive free agency activity is necessary to fix roster deficiencies and to prevent the No. 7 pick from being constrained by immediate needs. The organization holds only six draft selections, two within the first four rounds, increasing the urgency to add impact players via free agency. A successful spending period would allow the Commanders to take best-available prospects in the draft. A Pro Football and Sports Network simulator mock opens with a surprise pick of running back Jeremiyah Love at No. 7.
