"Peters made a concerted effort to surround quarterback Jayden Daniels with everything he needed. Almost every significant asset was utilized on the offensive side of the football. This came at the expense of defensive enhancements, with the front-office leader relying on aging veterans on relatively cheap deals to keep things trending in the right direction. Commanders letting Jeremy Chinn leave continues to look extremely foolish."
"This gamble hasn't paid off. While injuries haven't aided their cause, this is an old, slow defense that cannot do the simple things. There is a complete lack of dynamism or explosiveness, which makes Peters' decision to let standout safety Jeremy Chinn walk in free agency to the Las Vegas Raiders look even worse. Chinn enjoyed a standout year for the Commanders in 2024. He galvanized his career, providing versatility and physicality to a safety unit that needed a spark."
Washington's season is spiraling after an epic collapse against the Eagles, revealing broader team decline. General manager Adam Peters prioritized surrounding quarterback Jayden Daniels, allocating most significant assets to offense while neglecting defensive upgrades. The front office relied on aging veterans on cheap deals, resulting in an old, slow defense lacking dynamism and explosiveness. Peters allowed standout safety Jeremy Chinn to leave in free agency to the Las Vegas Raiders for $16.25 million over two years. Chinn has performed well in Las Vegas, while Will Harris and other internal options have failed to replicate Chinn's impact amid injuries and inconsistency.
