Commanders GM Adam Peters doubles down

Commanders GM Adam Peters doubles down on Washington's center situation.

The Washington Commanders general manager, Adam Peters, made it clear on Thursday that he remains confident in the team's center position. Despite not signing a center in free agency and drafting Matt Gulbin in the sixth round, Peters expressed his satisfaction with Nick Allegretti as the team's starting center. Allegretti had been dealing with an injury during training camp, which raised concerns among fans, but Peters stated that the team is optimistic about Allegretti's recovery and readiness for the upcoming season.

The Commanders have also re-signed journeyman Julian Good-Jones to the practice squad, but Peters did not see him as a viable long-term solution. Peters emphasized that the team trusts Allegretti's abilities and that they do not rely on external opinions when making decisions. The general manager reiterated the team's commitment to Allegretti, stating that they feel great about him and are confident in his performance in Week 1.
