"The Commanders fit the bill. They have around $89.8 million in cap space and the potential to have a huge bounce-back season with a healthy Jayden Daniels next season. Washington's struggles this season gives them the advantage of a top-10 pick to offer to Vegas. Dan Quinn would get the marquee pass-rusher he needs to improve the Commanders defense and the Raiders would be able to potentially add a quarterback at No. 1 and a foundational defensive prospect at No. 7."
"It blew up in Peters' face. Most fans are expecting a return to the original plan this offseason. However, that didn't stop one NFL analyst from placing the Commanders at the forefront of speculation regarding another blockbuster offseason trade that would shake the league to its foundations. That would be surprising. The Commanders only have six selections in the 2026 NFL Draft, and there are holes all over the roster."
Adam Peters completed two blockbuster trades during the 2025 offseason and later acquired cornerback Marshon Lattimore from the New Orleans Saints, signaling an aggressive Super Bowl push. That strategy failed, and a return to the original plan is expected this offseason. The Commanders have been linked as a potential landing spot for Raiders edge rusher Maxx Crosby, with a proposed package of two first-round picks and a fifth-rounder. Washington has roughly $89.8 million in cap space, a potential bounce-back with a healthy Jayden Daniels, and a top-10 draft pick advantage. Concerns remain because the team holds only six 2026 draft selections and has multiple roster holes, making a high-cost trade a risky gamble for Peters.
