"The 2025 offseason will determine who the real Commanders are So far, there have been two realities of the Commanders under Peters' tenure as general manager, which has coincided with Dan Quinn's appointment as head coach and Daniels' run as Washington's quarterback. The 2024 season was the best of all possible worlds, but 2025 has been the worst. The truth is that the real Commanders are probably somewhere in the middle."
"Peters, like everybody else involved in the organization, is responsible for some key mistakes that led to this mess. The Javon Kinlaw contract never made any sense. Neglecting youth across the roster backfired. The contract standoff with wide receiver Terry McLaurin was an unnecessary distraction, even if it ultimately led to a healthy compromise. Other moves Peters has made have poorly aged in hindsight. Most of his 2024 draft picks have failed to make an impact. The Marshon Lattimore trade was a bust."
The Commanders endured a disastrous 2025 season with two regular-season games remaining, leaving an urgent offseason ahead. Jayden Daniels remains on his rookie contract for at least two more years, preserving a contending window while Adam Peters will have cap flexibility to reshape the roster. The franchise showed extremes: a strong 2024 followed by a poor 2025, suggesting the team’s true level is likely around eight or nine wins. Peters made several missteps — the Javon Kinlaw contract, neglecting youth, the Terry McLaurin standoff, failed draft picks, and the Marshon Lattimore trade — alongside productive 2024 free-agent additions.
