Adam Peters’ offseason masterclass poised to spark Commanders’ Super Bowl run

Adam Peters prioritized one thing above all else during his second offseason as general manager. The Washington Commanders have a superstar quarterback on their hands, and the respected front-office leader did everything in his power to surround Jayden Daniels with everything needed to take the NFL by storm once again.

One NFL analyst believes this puts the Commanders in a prime position to make another deep postseason run when the 2025 season arrives.

Daniels is Washington's new prized possession. He's an electrifying signal-caller with the dynamic traits capable of bringing sustained success to this previously dormant franchise. The Heisman Trophy winner mesmerized fans as a rookie, putting together arguably the best campaign of any first-year signal-caller in league history. He's also got the mentality and level-headed approach that ensures this can become the start of something truly special.

This was a sentiment echoed by Kristopher Knox from The Bleacher Report, who gave Peters a B+ for his offseason moves. The analyst acknowledged the Commanders won't be a surprise package anymore, but that doesn't mean they cannot reach similar or even greater heights when competitive action begins again.

The Commanders rode rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels to an appearance in the NFC title game last season. Unsurprisingly, general manager Adam Peters prioritized Daniels' protection this offseason. While Washington only ended up making five draft selections, they used their resources wisely and did improve in a couple of key areas. Most importantly, the Commanders took steps to help protect their biggest asset, Daniels. Washington won't be taking anyone by surprise in 2025, but they're well equipped to meet their higher expectations head-on.Kristopher Knox

Everyone knows the Commanders have a bigger target on their back following a monumental run to the NFC Championship game. The NFL is expecting big things with eight standalone games on the 2025 schedule. Meeting these raised hopes will be challenging, but the squad looks solid.

There are some potential complications that might hold them back. The running back room needs to improve drastically. Washington is dangerously short of legitimate pass-rushing options. Their safety unit could use one more enhancement before confidence increases. And the revamped offensive line must cope with right guard Sam Cosmi's absence effectively.

If these questions are answered effectively, it's all systems go for head coach Dan Quinn. And if the Commanders manage to hoist the Vince Lombardi trophy at season's end, Peters' bold offseason strategy will be a big reason why.
