The Washington Commanders didn't hang around. Four days after dismissing Ron Rivera (Coach) and Martin Mayhew (General Manager), the capital franchise has already found the pillar of its reconstruction in the person of Adam Peters, the current Deputy General Manager of the 49ers.
Only 44 years old, Peters has been coveted for several seasons already. Indeed, he has to his credit the brilliant reconstruction of the 49ers squad that began upon his arrival in California in 2017.
Peters is particularly credited for his ability to find good players at the end of the draft, whether during his years in Denver (Chris Harris Jr, Malik Jackson or Justin Simmons), or in San Francisco with All-Pro George Kittle, Talanoa Hufanga or Fred Warner.
Peters' task does not look easy as the project is immense in Washington. In particular, it will be necessary to find a coach, then rebuild a defense which saw the departure of Chase Young and Montez Sweat, an offensive line which conceded 65 sacks (2nd worst total in the league), and finally perhaps turn the page on Sam Howell at the position. of quarterback.
