Peters says Aiyuk's social-media habits only part of the roster puzzle

NBC Sports/PFT recaps a roundabout question to Commanders GM Adam Peters about Brandon Aiyuk, noting that while a player’s social-media activity will be considered, tape, locker-room history and culture are primary factors in roster decisions. Aiyuk’s chances with Washington could hinge on his reinstatement from the 49ers’ reserve/left squad list to the 90-man roster and other typical roster considerations; nothing is decided until that process plays out.

Commanders Turn to Veteran Center Market as Biadasz Exits, Peters Faces Fan Scrutiny

In response to the Commanders releasing starting center Tyler Biadasz, fans favor a veteran free-agent replacement (Cushenberry, McGovern, Pocic, Mays, Lindebaum) over a Day-3 draft pick, with Nick Allegretti seen as the interim option. GM Adam Peters, now in his third year, retains broad but imperfect fan support (about 60% confident, with some doubts). Washington has 56 players under contract, six draft picks, and roughly $87.6 million in cap space, giving Peters room to pursue about $75 million in veteran free agency while planning for a playoff return in 2026.

Commanders should pass on Calais Campbell and lean into youth on defense

The piece argues Washington should not sign aging defensive end Calais Campbell, citing his 40th birthday in 2026 and a one-year near-$11M deal as a repeat of Adam Peters’ prior veteran-signing misstep. It contends the team’s goal is to get younger and develop a core around players like Javon Kinlaw and others, rather than delaying growth with veteran additions. It suggests targeting rising defenders such as Boye Mafe or Odafe Oweh who fit a 3-4 scheme and offer longer-term upside, rather than investing in an aging, high-cost veteran.
