""Jayden Daniels' injury all but confirms this is a lost season in Washington, but that masks the fact that it might've already been anyway. The Commanders ran it back largely on defense, and the aging group on that side of the ball is, well, showing their age. They need youth, they need juice, and T.J. Parker has both of those things. Clemson's season has been a disaster, but the explosiveness of the star edge rusher is still evident every time he's on the field.""
""The Commanders are desperate for an injection of youthful explosiveness in their pass-rushing room. Dorance Armstrong Jr. was in the midst of a breakout campaign before a season-ending knee injury, but the cupboard is relatively bare aside from that. And after almost completely overlooking this key position group in the offseason, Peters must rectify this error urgently when the next recruitment period commences.""
Adam Peters made no trades at the 2025 deadline despite a noncompetitive season, leaving questions about whether acceptable offers were received. The Commanders face a critical 2026 offseason with only six currently scheduled draft selections. A roster built by running it back with an aging defense has underperformed and requires a drastic approach shift. Post-deadline mock projections have the team targeting Clemson edge rusher T.J. Parker at No. 10 overall to inject youth and explosiveness. The pass rush depth is thin following Dorance Armstrong Jr.'s season-ending knee injury, and the front office must urgently address that position group.
