"There were two position groups where Peters quite literally started from scratch. He imported an all-new quarterback room for the 2024 season. He also parted company with all six linebackers who had taken the field in 2023. The story of Washington's linebacking corps during Ron Rivera's tenure is either a laugh-out-loud comedy or a gasp-inducing horror story, depending on your point of view. Or maybe it's a bit of both. Either way, changes were guaranteed."
"Peters immediately addressed the issue by signing Frankie Luvu and Bobby Wagner. He drafted a couple of developmental prospects in Jordan Magee and Dominque Hampton. Fortunately, in 2024, both Luvu and Wagner stayed healthy and played excellent football. They both earned second-team All-Pro honors - quite an improvement from those moribund years under Rivera. But there were warning signs."
Adam Peters rebuilt Washington's roster upon taking over in 2024, overhauling the quarterback room and replacing all six 2023 linebackers. Peters signed veterans Frankie Luvu and Bobby Wagner and drafted Jordan Magee and Dominque Hampton. Luvu and Wagner stayed healthy in 2024, earned second-team All-Pro honors, and improved play from prior years. Magee suffered early injury and saw limited defensive snaps as a rookie, contributing mostly on special teams. Hampton failed to transition to linebacker and was released. Through early 2025, Luvu and Wagner continued to dominate snaps while Magee remained a developmental project.
