"Peters' decision to sacrifice considerable draft compensation to the Houston Texans for Laremy Tunsil was an outstanding piece of business. The Commanders have problems - lots of them - but the five-time Pro Bowl left tackle has been nothing short of exceptional, almost from start to finish. Tunsil is a stone wall on the blindside. In 564 snaps this season, the former Ole Miss enforcer has given up just one sack, seven penalties, and 12 total pressures."
"Some harsh decisions are coming. The Commanders have plenty of salary-cap space but not many players under contract. They also only have six draft selections after Peters opted to stand pat at the 2025 trade deadline. Not every complication is going to be resolved successfully; there are way too many holes for that. Peters must get younger across the board. If that involves upsetting some established veterans for a more sustainable future, it's a small price to pay."
Adam Peters enters a tenure-defining 2026 offseason after a meteoric Year 1 followed by a steep decline. The Commanders possess substantial salary-cap space but have few players under contract and only six draft selections after standing pat at the 2025 trade deadline. The roster contains too many holes to fix in one offseason, requiring difficult decisions and a push to get younger. A previous aggressive approach misfired by relying on veterans past their prime and a costly defensive tackle acquisition. Laremy Tunsil has performed at an elite level and should be prioritized for an early extension.
