"The front-office leader has a significant amount of hard work ahead. Washington has roster holes everywhere you look. Peters' gamble to run it back with most of the squad that achieved so much in 2024 has backfired. A disastrous run of luck on the injury front hasn't helped, but it's clear that this squad, as presently constructed, isn't capable of reaching the heights fans anticipated."
"Peters could have over $100 million to spend in free agency, and he'd be wise to use every cent before Year 3 of quarterback Jayden Daniels' rookie contract. The Commanders stood pat at the 2025 trade deadline, which was surprising to most, leaving Peters with only six selections in next year's draft to utilize. Not exactly ideal, but the former San Francisco 49ers executive will have to make the best out of a bad situation."
Seven games remain in 2025 and Washington's season has lost relevance after higher expectations. Significant roster gaps exist across the team after management's decision to largely keep the 2024 core. Injuries compounded failures and the current roster appears unable to reach projected heights. General manager Adam Peters could control over $100 million in free-agency spending and should invest before quarterback Jayden Daniels enters Year 3 of his rookie deal. The Commanders made no trades at the 2025 deadline and retain only six picks in the 2026 draft. The pass-rush, particularly, requires urgent upgrade in the upcoming offseason.
