Adam Peters felt the Washington Commanders were in a prime position to win the Super Bowl in 2025. The general manager saw his team reach the NFC Championship game to far exceed expectations, so he was right to be aggressive in pursuit of going one better. Unfortunately, the drop-off was as dramatic as the surge.
The Commanders went 5-12 during a campaign that will be remembered for all the wrong reasons. Injuries dented any hope they had of reaching similar heights, and almost nobody emerged with credit. Peters must now consolidate, and he'll be rethinking a massive offseason gamble that is aging horribly.
