"Realistically, Peters is not getting rid of three-quarters of the roster he assembled over his two years in Washington. But it could get brutal. One of the first things he did when arriving in town in early 2024 was release a couple of popular veterans, Charles Leno Jr. and Logan Thomas. By the time the 2024 season kicked off, he had turned over more than half the team's roster. He may be about to do it again."
"I have eight defensive players and 13 offensive players as locks for next season. On offense, that includes an entire projected starting offensive line, tandems at tight end and running back, and of course, a quarterback. It also has Terry McLaurin and a couple of wide receivers. With only eight defenders, I don't even have a complete starting unit. I am missing a second defensive end, and the only safety I am keeping is Jeremy Reaves."
At the end of the 2025 regular season, the Washington Commanders had 84 players under contract: 16 on reserve/futures contracts, 15 designated as injured, and 53 on the active roster. Only 21 players are considered locks for the next season, about one-quarter of the roster, leaving substantial potential turnover. The likely retained group includes eight defensive players and 13 offensive players, featuring a projected starting offensive line, tight end and running back tandems, a quarterback, Terry McLaurin, and select receivers. Several key contributors are unrestricted free agents or likely release candidates, including Marshon Lattimore, Bobby Wagner, Deebo Samuel, Von Miller, and Preston Smith.
