Commanders approach trade deadline facing tough calls after aggressive spending
"Washington's bounce-back victory over L.A. showed improvement from the defense, which won at the line of scrimmage. That pressure aided a secondary that had been picked on early in the year, and Marshon Lattimore had his best coverage game of the season, allowing just 8.5 yards per catch on two grabs, per Pro Football Focus. That said, the secondary could still use some help on the outside and at free safety."
"This makes sense, but only if the Commanders find the right fit - someone who can slot into the scheme immediately and not need a transitional period. That might be difficult, and it might not be cheap, but the opportunity awaiting Washington this season cannot be overstated. Much will depend on how the Commanders fare in the coming weeks. They have some challenging games up"
Adam Peters faces a difficult decision ahead of the 2025 trade deadline as the Washington Commanders balance recent aggressive acquisitions with remaining roster needs. The team has spent heavily while its Super Bowl window is open, yet defensive vulnerabilities persist that could be addressed via trade. Washington projects only six picks in the 2026 draft, limiting expendable assets and increasing the cost of midseason upgrades. An immediate-fit addition on the outside or at free safety would shore up coverage without a lengthy transition. Short-term moves will hinge on upcoming matchups and on-field performance over the next weeks.
