The Washington Commanders officially announced Adam Peters as the new general on Monday evening. On Tuesday, Washington will introduce Peters at a press conference in Ashburn.
From there, Peters and managing partner Josh Harris will be focused on finding Washington’s next head coach.
Last week, the Commanders requested permission to speak with several assistant coaches, all on playoff teams. Washington interviewed Ravens associate head coach/defensive line coach Anthony Weaver last week.
With the NFL Wild Card weekend in the books, expect to see the Commanders set up interviews with the rest of their candidates.
According to Ben Standig of The Athletic, Washington will interview Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn on Thursday.

In three seasons with the Cowboys, Quinn has done an excellent job overall, but his defense was embarrassed by the Green Bay Packers in Sunday’s 48-32 NFC Wild Card loss.
Quinn has other interviews, too, including the Panthers, Titans and Chargers. The Seattle Seahawks, where Quinn coached before he was head coach of the Atlanta Falcons for six seasons, is reportedly planning to interview him, too.
Washington legend Brian Mitchell let his feelings be known about the Commanders’ interest in Quinn.
