"The Washington Commanders are confident in their current edge-rushing options. Fans are less bullish, so it'll be interesting to see if those who'll be tasked with significant responsibilities can produce the goods during a high-stakes campaign for the franchise. Adam Peters is taking a calculated risk. This was magnified by a prolific veteran pass-rusher going overlooked, eventually joining one of Washington's biggest obstacles in its quest for a Super Bowl."
"Smith didn't get a new deal from the Detroit Lions this offseason. He bided his time throughout the summer in pursuit of finding the right opportunity. This patience was rewarded in the best possible way, and he'll now get the chance to help Philadelphia retain its crown. This puts Smith in the Commanders' crosshairs later in the campaign and potentially the postseason if everything goes according to plan for both."
The Washington Commanders remain confident in their current edge-rushing options despite fan skepticism. General manager Adam Peters declined to sign veteran Za'Darius Smith, instead acquiring Von Miller, Jacob Martin, and Deatrich Wise Jr. The Philadelphia Eagles signed Smith to a one-year deal after losing Milton Williams and Josh Sweat in free agency. Smith spent the offseason waiting for a right opportunity after Detroit did not re-sign him. Smith's presence adds a proven pass-rusher to the Eagles and creates challenging matchups for Washington in the division and possibly the postseason. The decision could influence Washington's defensive effectiveness and divisional outcomes.
