"Adam Peters has a huge amount of hard work ahead this offseason. The Commanders mustered just five wins one year after reaching the NFC Championship game. The general manager went all-in, gambling on aging veterans to get Washington over the hump while running it back with the large majority who gave so much to the club in 2024. It backfired, so fans are expecting a change of approach this time around."
"If the Commanders make the expected sacrifices, they could have more than $100 million to spend. Peters needs to move away from the one-year deals and focus on players coming off their rookie deals with their best football ahead. For this grand plan to work, Washington needs another productive running back capable of working in tandem with seventh-round pick Jacory Croskey-Merritt."
Washington finished with five wins a year after reaching the NFC Championship game, requiring a different roster strategy. General manager Adam Peters relied on aging veterans and retained most of the 2024 core, a move that failed and increases pressure for change. The team holds two early picks and six total in the 2026 draft, magnifying the need for careful cap management. If the Commanders free significant cap space they could have more than $100 million to spend. The team should move away from one-year deals toward players coming off rookie contracts. Kenneth Walker III offers production, dual-threat ability, and upside for Jayden Daniels in a West Coast-style offense under coordinator David Blough.
