The Washington Commanders have undergone massive changes since January. They began with the firing of former head coach Ron Rivera and the hiring of general manager Adam Peters and head coach Dan Quinn.
Peters wrecked Washington’s roster, signing over 20 external free agents in the offseason and adding nine draft picks and 12 undrafted free agents. Hardly anyone was safe, which became evident this week when the Commanders traded former first-round pick Jahan Dotson to the Philadelphia Eagles.
On Tuesday, Peters must trim Washington’s roster to 53 players. But before that, the Commanders have one final preseason game against the New England Patriots on Sunday. We’ve identified seven players who need a strong performance against the Patriots in order to stick around beyond Tuesday.
