There may be no fan base more starved for winning than the Washington Commanders, and it's on general manager Adam Peters to deliver the goods.
Typically new doesn't mean better, at least not immediately, as it takes time for new faces and personalities to fully gel and get in sync. Butis being looked upon to improve on one of the league's worst products over the past 20 years or so and general manager Adam Peters has staked his first - and potentially only - opportunity to build a winning team on the chance he's the guy that finally figure it out.
There's an old cliche that nothing worth doing is done easily, and while many view taking a team that earned the No. 2 overall pick in the NFL Draft as a situation with nowhere to go but up, there is actually room to fall even further. Even worse, there will be plenty wondering if the quarterback predicted to be selected with the No. 2 overall pick was worth the investment and if the team should just cut bait after one season. Couple that with the fact there are at least three other quarterbacks theirs will be compared to in terms of success, and there is actually a lot that could go wrong for Peters and his new Washington delegation.
The idea, it would appear, is to take a talented group of inherited players, blend them with the type of contributors the new staff believes it wants to build around, draft keystone pieces and then gauge how well they did or didn't blend together in year one. From there, around $100 million of salary cap room awaits Peters in 2025, and the team could be on the verge of fleshing out a competing roster with that money.
