"The Washington Commanders have one more game left before the season reaches a merciful conclusion. And fans are expecting some drastic changes across the board before preparations for the 2026 campaign gather pace. General manager Adam Peters isn't under any immediate pressure. Nor is head coach Dan Quinn, but there is a significant amount of hard work ahead before the Commanders can consider themselves among the playoff hopefuls again."
"The Commanders have 30 free agents. They range from future Pro Football Hall of Famers, productive Pro Bowlers, veteran journeymen, and fledgling hopefuls looking for another chance. Not everyone is going to get a reprieve after such a woeful season, but Peters isn't going to let everyone leave either. There are complex riddles aplenty, but the time for half-measures is over."
The Washington Commanders enter Week 18 with a league-high 30 players set to become free agents. The group includes future Hall of Famers, Pro Bowlers, veteran journeymen, and young hopefuls seeking another chance. General manager Adam Peters and head coach Dan Quinn currently face no immediate pressure, but substantial roster reconstruction and a revised offseason strategy are required. Peters' approach of short-term deals for aging veterans underperformed, creating complex roster challenges. The team must make difficult personnel decisions, accept necessary sacrifices, and prioritize decisive moves to return to playoff contention in 2026. One exclusive rights free agent requires a tender to retain negotiating control.
