Adam Peters was more aggressive than ever this offseason. The Washington Commanders were way ahead of schedule with an opportunity in front of them, and the general manager reacted accordingly with a flurry of bombshell trades that were expected to propel this sleeping giant back to the NFL's top table for good.
Peters was correct to swing for the fences. The Commanders made the NFC Championship game last season, and they had a franchise quarterback on a rookie deal. This year's free-agent class wasn't great, so finding top-tier talent in the trade market was the only realistic avenue to find the pieces needed.
