Our Mark Tyler breaks down how decisions GM Adam Peters has made have hurt the Commanders in 2026

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

Adam Peters, Washington Commanders general manager, is facing criticism for his performance as the team's head coach. Peters was hired with great fanfare, but his decisions have been questioned as the season progressed. Dan Quinn, who was not Peters' first choice, has struggled with player development, and many players have either regressed or been injured.

Peters' belief in building through the draft has resulted in disappointing results, with several draft picks underperforming. The team's 2024 and 2025 drafts were particularly lackluster, with some notable names falling short of expectations. Peters' trading away of draft picks for aging and injured players, such as Marcus Lattimore and Laremy Tunsil, has been particularly criticized. The 2026 draft class is looking promising, but it's too early to judge.
