Tyler’s Take — Adam Peters is on a bad trajectory as Washington’s general manager (@tiller56)

Adam Peters’ tenure as the Washington Commanders’ general manager has faced growing scrutiny after a series of high-profile missteps. The team’s first major hire under Peters, head coach Dan Quinn, was not his top choice—Ben Johnson and Mike Macdonald reportedly ranked higher—but ended up as the selection.

Now, Quinn’s two seasons in Washington have been marked by inconsistency, with the team’s roster development under his watch falling short. Players drafted or acquired under Quinn’s regime have struggled with injuries or underperformance, including defensive end Johnny Newton (inactive due to injury) and cornerback Mike Sandristil (benched for a street free agent).

The team’s 2024 draft class, while including a standout in quarterback Jayden Daniels, has largely underdelivered, with others like linebacker Jordan Magee and wide receiver Luke McCaffrey either sidelined or ineffective. Meanwhile, Peters’ draft philosophy has come under fire, as the 2024 class has failed to produce the expected impact beyond Daniels.
