Adam Peters is facing a tenure-defining 2026 offseason. The Washington Commanders surged to meteoric heights in Year 1 under his leadership. Things have nosedived just as quickly this time around, so there is a significant amount of hard work ahead.

Not every complication is going to be resolved successfully; there are way too many holes for that.
