"Adam Peters has a lot of hard work ahead this offseason. The Washington Commanders' ambition to win the Super Bowl took a massive hit. Now it's time to consolidate and adjust accordingly, but fans remain confident that they have the right man to spearhead this franchise into a prosperous new era. One of the first items on Peters' agenda will be to sort out the future of those looking for new deals."
"The Commanders have more pending free agents than any other club, and not everyone is going to stick around. Not only this, but there could be some players with years remaining on their contracts who'll be seeking extensions in advance. Five-time Pro Bowl left tackle Laremy Tunsil seems the most likely candidate. Veteran edge rusher Dorance Armstrong Jr. is another, although the Commanders will probably wait to see how his knee injury heals up before concluding one way or another."
"Armstrong was in the midst of a breakout campaign before getting hurt. He was among the NFL's sack leaders, emerging as a potential No. 1 option who got a new lease of life. This was a massive positive at the best possible time and will also raise the cost of his contract extension when the time comes. According to market projections from Spotrac, Armstrong could get $19.9 million per year on a three-year contract worth $59.7 million on his next deal."
Adam Peters will need to address the Commanders' large group of pending free agents and contract-extension candidates during the offseason. The Commanders have more pending free agents than any other club, so roster and salary-cap decisions will require consolidation and adjustment. Five-time Pro Bowl left tackle Laremy Tunsil is a likely extension candidate, and veteran edge rusher Dorance Armstrong Jr. is also a possibility pending recovery from a season-ending knee injury. Armstrong was emerging as a top sack leader before the injury and could command approximately $19.9 million per year on a projected three-year, $59.7 million deal. The injury creates uncertainty and a wait-and-see outlook.
