"It's evident that general manager Adam Peters wants to improve the Washington Commanders' pass-rushing options this offseason. And with cash to spend in free agency, the time to be aggressive has arrived. Peters will have a list of potential free-agent targets who may or may not hit the market. The front-office leader will also be keeping a close eye on developments across the league, with possible options coming to the fore once they are released to ease salary-cap burdens."
"According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, the Miami Dolphins are releasing two-time Pro Bowl edge rusher Bradley Chubb. His contract restructure made this a realistic scenario at some stage during the offseason. Now, the AFC East club has opted to bite the bullet and eat a substantial dead-cap figure to provide financial flexibility down the road. The Dolphins are taking on $23.85 million in dead money by making Chubb surplus to requirements."
"Perhaps more important for the Commanders is Chubb's experience in a 3-4 front. That is what most experts believe Washington is moving to under new defensive coordinator Daronte Jones. For this gamble to succeed, the options at his disposal need to be significantly upgraded. Chubb will be 30 years old before the 2026 campaign arrives. That will raise alarm bells to fans, especially how Peters' bet on aging veterans blew up in his face last season."
General manager Adam Peters aims to improve the Washington Commanders' pass-rushing options this offseason and has cap space to be aggressive in free agency. The Dolphins released two-time Pro Bowl edge rusher Bradley Chubb after a contract restructure, absorbing $23.85 million in dead cap. Chubb played all 17 games in 2025 and recorded 8.5 sacks despite injury concerns. Chubb has experience playing in a 3-4 front, matching the expected defensive shift under coordinator Daronte Jones. Chubb will be 30 before the 2026 season, raising durability concerns, though players often need a full year to regain form after long-term injuries.
