"Washington signed no fewer than 12 new players over the opening stages of the free-agent frenzy around the league. Left guard Chris Paul and backup quarterback Marcus Mariota were re-signed. Left tackle Laremy Tunsil got a bumper extension ahead of time, which is nothing more than he deserved after an exceptional first campaign with the club."
"The Commanders have more money to spend on more free agents, depending on what opportunities become available. The front-office leader also has six picks in the 2026 NFL Draft. And he has a lot more freedom to play the board as he sees fit after filling needs from the veteran pool."
"Everything should be on the table for Adam Peters at No. 7 overall in the 2026 NFL Draft. The Washington Commanders could take the best available prospect as their needs diminish. The general manager may also look for a trade-down partner to further boost his assets in 2026 and potentially beyond."
The Washington Commanders were highly active during the first wave of free agency, signing 12 new players to address roster needs. General manager Adam Peters re-signed left guard Chris Paul and backup quarterback Marcus Mariota, while securing left tackle Laremy Tunsil with a contract extension. Though Jonathan Jones, Chris Rodriguez Jr., and Jacob Martin departed, the team's overall roster composition improved substantially. Peters retains additional salary cap flexibility for further free-agent acquisitions and possesses six draft picks in the 2026 NFL Draft. This positions the Commanders to continue addressing needs through veteran signings while maintaining draft board flexibility to select best-available prospects.
