"One of those centered on general manager Adam Peters' decision not to bring back safety Darrick Forrest in free agency. Forrest was once considered a possible long-term piece of the puzzle. His partnership with Kamren Curl on the backend was a rare bright spot amid the doom and gloom under Ron Rivera. Unfortunately, injuries dented his momentum, and the regime had a different approach when it came on board in 2024."
"Curl left for the Los Angeles Rams in 2024 free agency. Forrest made the squad, but he quickly became an afterthought as the Commanders moved forward with Quan Martin and Jeremy Chinn as their starting pair. The talent remained, but a fresh start seemed like a foregone conclusion from a long way out. The former Cincinnati college prospect was signed by the Buffalo Bills but released this summer during final cuts."
The Washington Commanders' secondary was expected to be a strength but has become a significant concern by midseason. General manager Adam Peters chose not to re-sign safety Darrick Forrest in free agency and took a different personnel approach in 2024. Forrest previously partnered with Kamren Curl as a reliable backend pairing before injuries affected his momentum. Curl departed for the Los Angeles Rams, and the Commanders installed Quan Martin and Jeremy Chinn as starters. Forrest later signed with the Buffalo Bills, was released during final cuts, and spent a brief stint on the Indianapolis Colts' practice squad before departing.
