Adam Peters is in a strong position to make the improvements needed this offseason. The Washington Commanders are loaded with salary-cap space and are an attractive destination once again. But to get the best free agents into the building, you have to pay.
Peters avoided this temptation during his first recruitment period at the helm. Very few signings got long-term commitments. The Commanders adopted a wait-and-see approach, finding the right blend of youth and experience to ensure head coach Dan Quinn could implement his dramatic culture shift. It was a recipe for success.
The Commanders went on a fairytale run to the NFC Championship game. Their Super Bowl window is officially open with quarterback Jayden Daniels under center. This won't go unnoticed by Peters, who must be more aggressive in pursuit of getting over the hump.
If the Commanders want to stand any chance of dethroning the Philadelphia Eagles, they must enhance the trenches. This is where games are won or lost in the postseason. It's also the biggest reason why Washington's bitter division rival steamrolled their way to the Vince Lombardi trophy.
Potential Commanders target Osa Odighizuwa could get $21 million per season
One name being strongly linked with the Commanders is Osa Odighizuwa. The formidable defensive tackle knows Quinn well from their time together on the Dallas Cowboys. Adding him won't be cheap, especially considering the big investments already made on the defensive line interior.
