"The Washington Commanders have been heavily involved in trade activity over the last year. Adam Peters determined that this team was ahead of schedule, and he responded aggressively with several bold transactions that shook the NFL to its foundations. That puts the general manager in a tricky spot right now. Things are not going well for the Commanders. Injuries haven't helped, but they are 3-4 regardless. They also have a challenging series of games upcoming that could plunge them further behind in their quest for playoff football once again."
"The Commanders, now below .500 after a Week 7 loss to the Cowboys, can't keep things the way they are in the secondary. [Michael] Carter is a slot-only cornerback that can take on that nickel role for Washington and let [Mike] Sainristil kick back outside. That would allow the second-year player to return to a spot where he performed better over the back half of last season. Meanwhile, the Commanders could avoid trotting out [Marshon] Lattimore to keep getting burned on the outside. [Trey] Amos could start in the other outside spot, opposite Sainristil, and continue developing as an outside corner."
Washington has been actively trading over the past year, with general manager Adam Peters making bold transactions after determining the roster was ahead of schedule. The team currently sits 3-4 amid injuries and faces a difficult upcoming stretch that could jeopardize playoff hopes. Peters faces choices before the 2025 trade deadline: stand pat, sell assets if losses continue, or pursue additions to improve competitiveness. One proposal is trading for Jets slot cornerback Michael Carter II to handle the nickel role, move Mike Sainristil back outside, limit Marshon Lattimore's outside exposure, and start Trey Amos opposite Sainristil.
