"There are significant holes to fill before confidence in the team's chances increases. This must start with an aggressive free-agent approach with money to spend. According to Over the Cap, the Commanders are projected to have about $73.65 million in available financial funds. They need to sign around 30 players, but general manager Adam Peters could take the total over $100 million with additional moves. And with quarterback Jayden Daniels entering Year 3 of his rookie deal, maximizing every resource is crucial."
"Trevon Diggs is a wild card, two years removed from making $19 million a year, yet a player who was cut by the Cowboys and Packers at the end of this past season. He has an 11-interception season on his résumé, but went all of 2025 without so much as a pass defensed. He's worth a shot for a team that doesn't have to rely on him as an every-down corner, but what kind of contract does that yield?"
The Commanders enter a pivotal offseason with roughly $73.65 million in projected cap space and needs to sign about 30 players, though additional moves could push available funds past $100 million. Quarterback Jayden Daniels enters Year 3 of his rookie deal, increasing urgency to allocate resources effectively. Trevon Diggs is being floated as a target despite a steep recent decline, having been cut by Dallas and Green Bay after an 11-interception season and failing to record a pass defensed in 2025. The secondary requires an overhaul under new defensive coordinator Daronte Jones, and signing Diggs could be a risky, short-term fix.
