"The Washington Commanders have one more game ahead of them before attention turns to a pivotal offseason for the franchise. And for some established veterans, this will be the end of the road in D.C. Adam Peters knows what must be done. The general manager was right to push his chips into the middle after reaching the NFC Championship games in Year 1 under head coach Dan Quinn's leadership."
"Jonathan Jones could be embarking on his final snaps with the Commanders Not everyone will come along for the ride. And for cornerback Jonathan Jones, the Week 18 contest against the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field could be his last in a Washington uniform. Jones was one of several proven performers who joined the Commanders on a one-year deal in free agency. The two-time Super Bowl winner with the New England Patriots was aiming for similar success in a different environment."
"The former Auburn standout has conceded 64.5 percent of targets thrown in his direction and a 92.0 passer rating when targeted. Jones has missed 12.8% of his tackles, and his 56.1 grade from Pro Football Focus ranks 80th out of 113 qualifying cornerbacks. There have been some fleeting moments of promise, but nothing that suggests he will get another deal beyond the campaign."
The Washington Commanders enter a pivotal offseason with one final regular-season game remaining and an expectation of roster overhaul. General manager Adam Peters previously invested heavily after a Year 1 NFC Championship run under Dan Quinn, but results fell short, prompting plans to get younger and more dynamic. The team faces the most pending free agents in the league, so not every veteran will return. Cornerback Jonathan Jones, a one-year free-agent signing and two-time Super Bowl winner, struggled with injuries and inconsistent play, surrendering 64.5% of targets and posting a 56.1 PFF grade.
