"The Washington Commanders have a clear path toward fixing their problems this offseason. It's still a tall order, but general manager Adam Peters is better positioned than most around the league. Washington currently ranks fifth in the NFL in salary cap space, with a projected $74.55 million. There will also be opportunities to add to that number through potential releases and trades."
"Fans who still have PTSD from the Dan Snyder era surely need no reminders of the many times Washington splurged on big names in free agency just to have them backfire. From washed-up superstars like Deion Sanders to the infamous Albert Haynesworth contract, there's a long history of exciting acquisitions that haven't panned out. During his two seasons in Washington, Peters has already made a few similar mistakes, most notably trading for cornerback Marshon Lattimore and overpaying for defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw."
""Commanders could use an edge rusher and probably about five more... they could use a receiver, and they got the money to spend. And that's the key, is that you can have the money to spend, but you've also got to make smart decisions. You have to bring in more talent, period." As has been said many times, Peters's primary emphasis will be on signing younger free agents, unlike in the past two years."
Washington ranks fifth in the NFL in salary-cap space with a projected $74.55 million and potential to increase that total via releases or trades. General manager Adam Peters must translate cap flexibility into genuine roster improvements rather than headline-chasing signings. The franchise’s history of costly free-agent failures and a few recent missteps — including the Marshon Lattimore trade and the Javon Kinlaw contract — heighten the need for prudent moves. Priorities include adding edge rushers and receiving help while focusing on younger, high-upside free agents instead of pricey veteran stopgaps.
