Adam Peters, the newly appointed general manager of the Washington Commanders, has showcased a bold approach to roster management since his arrival. The 2024 NFL Draft marked a significant milestone, with the Commanders selecting quarterback Jayden Daniels as the second overall pick, a decision that has already shown promise. Peters engaged in a notable trade with the Philadelphia Eagles, who sought to move up in the draft.

In exchange for the 40th pick, the Commanders secured an additional second-round pick from the Eagles, allowing both teams to bolster their rosters effectively. Peters has continued this trend of aggressive management, having traded Jahan Dotson to the Eagles in a later draft for strategic picks. This willingness to negotiate and stand firm on trade terms has positioned the Commanders favorably in their division.
