Commanders' lingering roster flaw reopens an old wound fans can’t forget

Adam Peters has taken plenty of calculated risks since being tasked with regenerating the Washington Commanders. The general manager adopted a ruthless mindset, and the early results spoke for themselves during a sensational run to the NFC Championship game in 2024.

Now, the cracks are beginning to show. And one major position flaw has reopened an old wound that fans can't forget.

It didn't take long to realize what Peters thought of the roster that Ron Rivera left behind. The front-office leader gutted the personnel — dismissing everyone from established veterans to recent draft picks — to revitalize how this football operation was run.
