"Washington Commanders general manager Adam Peters has plenty of work to do to get the club back on track. However, everything starts with ensuring star quarterback Jayden Daniels is in the best spot to succeed. Point-blank, Daniels needs more weapons on offense. That was evident throughout his injury-marred second pro campaign and a recurring theme of Washington's disappointing 2025 results. Giving him an adequate pass-catching corps should be atop Peters' lengthy offseason to-do list."
"Pittman has a $29 million cap hit in 2026, the final season of the three-year, $70 million contract extension he signed in March 2024. The Colts can save $24 million while only leaving behind $5 million in dead money by cutting him. Put two and two together, and his future with the franchise is in serious doubt, which presents the Commanders with a lifeline."
Adam Peters must rebuild the Washington Commanders' offense around quarterback Jayden Daniels to facilitate a quick turnaround. Daniels lacked pass-catching support during an injury-marred second season and through Washington's disappointing 2025 campaign, making added wide receiver talent essential. Indianapolis receiver Michael Pittman Jr. could become available because of a $29 million 2026 cap hit; Indianapolis would save $24 million by cutting him while incurring $5 million dead money. The Commanders likely prefer not to trade for high-priced veterans but could sign Pittman if he is released and willing to accept a heavily incentivized deal. Deebo Samuel's impending free agency shows Peters will seize unexpected opportunities.
