With Terry McLaurin’s trade request, Adam Peters is facing the first crisis of his astonishingly successful term as Washington Commanders' general manager. But it is that success that has landed him in this situation.
There was plenty of optimism when Dan Snyder’s reign of misery finally ended in 2023. But even the optimistic fans couldn’t have predicted just how well the first season under Josh Harris and Peters would turn out.
It seems that virtually every move the new general manager made struck gold. From hiring Dan Quinn to drafting Jayden Daniels to rapidly rebuilding the roster with modestly priced, quality free agents, Peters knew his job.
