"Adam Peters ruthlessly disposed of most high-end draft picks made by previous head coach Ron Rivera. It was a four-year period that could have set the Washington Commanders back for decades if managed incorrectly. But fortunately, the new general manager knew exactly how to turn the tide. It revolutionized the Commanders' fortunes on and off the field. Unfortunately, it wasn't good news for everyone. And the fact that very few castoffs are making an impact elsewhere speaks volumes."
"For linebacker Jamin Davis, he's been given a golden opportunity to galvanize his career when nobody expected it. Davis was a first-round pick by Rivera. He got almost no help at the defensive second level and was tasked with responsibilities he could never accomplish effectively. When his switch to the edge-rushing spot didn't go well, Peters and Dan Quinn cut the cord ahead of time. The former Kentucky standout has spent time on several teams since departing Washington."
Adam Peters removed most high-end draft picks from the Ron Rivera era, initiating a turnaround for the Washington Commanders that improved results on and off the field. Numerous former Rivera selections failed to find sustained roles elsewhere. Jamin Davis, a former first-round linebacker, struggled amid poor defensive support and role changes, including an unsuccessful move to edge rusher. Peters and Dan Quinn released Davis early. Davis has cycled through multiple teams, was cut by the New York Jets this summer, and has now joined the Las Vegas Raiders' practice squad, facing a final chance to revive his career.
