The Washington Commanders will make a concerted effort to prioritize their defensive options throughout general manager Adam Peters' third offseason at the helm. However, the franchise must also divert resources to improving the supporting cast around star quarterback Jayden Daniels.
It's a complex dynamic for Peters to navigate. Fans are expecting wholesale roster changes, and the Commanders could have around $100 million or more to spend when the legal tampering window opens. The front-office leader also has six selections in the 2026 NFL Draft, including the No. 7 overall pick.
Ideally, the free-agent window will provide the moves Peters needs to have some flexibility when the draft rolls around.
