"The Commanders are projected to have over $60 million in effective cap space this offseason, sixth-most in the NFL, and their first draft pick -- which will be in the top 10 -- is of paramount importance. While they are without some later draft picks, they can focus on a significant free-agent haul, a group that can help now and in the future. Washington GM Adam Peters has a big offseason ahead, one full of both great power and great responsibility."
"Washington pushed its chips into the middle, and they were right to do so. The Commanders reached the final four last time out. There was a need to be more aggressive to maximize quarterback Jayden Daniels' rookie contract. Unfortunately, injuries, aging players who were a step too slow, and younger players with breakout promise falling flat contributed significantly to their demise."
Washington regressed sharply this season despite expectations after a prior deep playoff run. The roster suffered from injuries, aging players slowing down, and younger players failing to break out. The team had pushed aggressively to maximize quarterback Jayden Daniels' rookie contract. The front office now controls more than $60 million in effective cap space and holds a top-10 first-round pick while lacking some later selections. The offseason can focus on a significant free-agent haul and targeted draft usage to address immediate needs and position the team for a potential rebound in 2025.
