Nothing much went right for the Washington Commanders in 2025. There were a few bright spots, but nothing more. General manager Adam Peters has another busy offseason ahead, and the pressure is on to put the correct pieces in place.

There were eyebrows raised around the league when the Commanders gave defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw a three-year, $45 million contract with $30 million guaranteed.
