"Adam Peters was aggressive last season, trading for veteran cornerback Marshon Lattimore with the team sitting at 7-2 with a real chance to make an impact in the playoffs. That is not the case this time around. The Commanders are 3-4 with a brutal stretch of games upcoming. Peters could stand pat, which is the most likely scenario. He's spent a lot with mixed success."
"It was none other than struggling New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields. No, really. "The Commanders can only make this deal for a young running backup with upside behind Jayden Daniels if the Jets agree to take on much of the salary burden but [Justin] Fields would definitely be a good flyer to add behind Marcus Mariota as a future needed injury contingency for Daniels, fitting well with Kliff Kingsbury.""
Washington enters the trade deadline at 3-4 and faces a difficult stretch of games. Adam Peters acted aggressively last season, acquiring Marshon Lattimore when the team was 7-2, but current circumstances differ. The roster lacks clear tradable assets and the front office may prefer to stand pat. A proposal recommends acquiring Justin Fields only if the Jets absorb much of his salary, positioning Fields as a future injury contingency behind Jayden Daniels with Marcus Mariota as the immediate backup and a system fit with Kliff Kingsbury. Jayden Daniels remains the franchise starter and his hamstring strain is not expected to be long-term, making a Fields trade unlikely.
