"That was the price for progress, and it worked right out of the gate. Things look much more uncertain now, but the choice not to offer safety Kamren Curl a new contract in 2024 is probably one that Peters would like to have back. Curl emerged from a seventh-round pick into a highly capable starter. Peters didn't think his production warranted another financial commitment, and he signed for the Los Angeles Rams in free agency."
"Fans were critical of the decision to part ways with Curl at the time. The Commanders got outstanding production from Jeremy Chinn in the year after, but he wasn't kept around either. Peters and head coach Dan Quinn placed too much faith in 2023 second-round pick Quan Martin, and he failed to cope with the increased responsibilities on his shoulders."
The Washington Commanders failed to reach the playoffs after a disastrous season. Several former players and coaches are thriving in playoff pressure. General manager Adam Peters overhauled Ron Rivera's roster during his first offseason, releasing many high-end draft selections and declining to re-sign several starters. Safety Kamren Curl, a seventh-round pick, signed with the Los Angeles Rams in 2024 and has elevated his play, delivering a decisive overtime interception that advanced the Rams to the NFC championship. The Commanders briefly benefited from Jeremy Chinn's production but lost him as well. Quan Martin struggled when entrusted with larger responsibilities.
