"Adam Peters' approach took a seismic shift this offseason. The general manager sensed a newfound urgency to make aggressive moves after the Washington Commanders reached the NFC Championship game. He struck with conviction to put his team in the best possible position. Peters also had to rely on aging veterans. The Commanders had the NFL's oldest roster coming into the season, stemming from years of poor drafting under former head coach Ron Rivera. Not ideal, but it was the only way right now."
"Just when all hope seemed lost for Chris Paul, the offensive lineman got another chance to start amid Brandon Coleman's early struggles. This was his final chance to prove himself, and he seized it with both hands. The left guard position is Paul's until further notice. And if he keeps playing well, a new contract should be waiting next spring. Prediction: Re-signed (2-year deal)"
"The Commanders still have Chris Rodriguez Jr. around, and he's gaining carries after making the 53-man roster. Perhaps he should be used more, especially after Austin Ekeler got hurt and Brian Robinson Jr. was traded, but there is still a lack of trust attached. He's a restricted free agent, so the Commanders will probably tender him an offer to see if there can be even more progress. Prediction: Restricted free-agent tender"
Adam Peters overhauled roster strategy with aggressive offseason moves after the Commanders reached the NFC Championship. He prioritized conviction signings and leaned on veteran players despite the roster being the NFL's oldest due to prior poor drafting under Ron Rivera. The team has regressed this season, hampered by injuries, slow execution, and lost momentum. Peters faces significant offseason decisions. Midseason projections for 2026 free agents predict Chris Paul earning a two-year re-signing as starting left guard, Chris Rodriguez Jr. receiving a restricted free-agent tender, and uncertainty surrounding Tyree Jackson while he remains on injured reserve.
