"Peters has always preached the importance of maintaining future financial flexibility. Washington's rise to the NFC Championship game led the front office to acquire proven veterans on one-year deals to see if they could get them over the hump. It failed miserably, but most of the Commanders' underachievers can be disposed of with no ramifications attached. A busy few months lie ahead for Peters and others in positions of power."
"Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network revealed that the league has contacted teams about the salary cap soaring to more than $300 million next season. It's gone up $100 million in four years, which is nothing short of astonishing as business continues to boom. "The NFL informed clubs today it is projecting a 2026 salary cap in the range of $301.2 million to $305.7 million per club, per source. That would represent another significant jump from this year's $279.2 million cap number, and nearly $100M than the $208.2M cap in 2022.""
The NFL projects a 2026 salary cap between $301.2 million and $305.7 million, up sharply from recent years. The Washington Commanders currently project about $71.41 million in available cap space, with the figure likely to increase after planned roster adjustments. The anticipated release of Marshon Lattimore and a possible extension for Laremy Tunsil could push available funds toward $100 million. General manager Adam Peters prioritized preserving future financial flexibility while addressing roster needs. Expanded cap room would allow for aggressive free-agent moves and contract strategies to improve both immediate competitiveness and long-term depth.
