"Adam Peters needs a complete rethink regarding his approach to molding a contender, and aside from a few franchise cornerstones, everyone should be nervously looking over their shoulder. There is no room for sentiment. Standards have slipped this season. One can pinpoint the constant injury problems holding the team back, but the cracks were showing long before that. Peters can see what's unfolding before his eyes, but he remains the right man to lead Washington's ambitious project for now."
"The Commanders have the most pending free agents anywhere in the league. They only have six draft picks, but Peters should have north of $100 million to spend in free agency. That's a positive working in his favor, even if there is a massive amount to get through in the coming months. Those who get a reprieve should feel an added sense of urgency."
Washington requires significant roster changes before the 2026 offseason, with Adam Peters needing to rethink his approach to building a contender. The team carries the most pending free agents in the league, holds only six draft picks, but should have more than $100 million to spend in free agency. Persistent injuries compounded slipped standards, with older veterans inconsistent and young breakout hopefuls regressing. Players who are retained must feel urgency to improve. Defensive lineman Johnny Newton has failed to secure an impactful role despite a No. 36 pick, evidenced by Washington claiming Shy Tuttle after Eddie Goldman went to injured reserve. Organizational changes are likely.
