Adam Peters is getting through a lot of work quickly. The Washington Commanders weren't especially active regarding incomings. There were a few notable additions, but the team's focus centered on keeping the large majority of Dan Quinn's squad together for another go-around.
This maintains a sense of continuity if nothing else. The Commanders are banking on experience steering them through. That wasn't Peters' original intent upon taking the general manager job, but Washington's window to win another Super Bowl opened much sooner than anyone anticipated.
Peters pivoted accordingly. The Commanders fortified the trenches and made two bombshell offseason trades for immediate difference-makers in Deebo Samuel Sr. and Laremy Tunsil. They are ready to win now, but complacency cannot become an issue for those around last season who have an extra bit of financial security for their troubles.
It's been a busy few days for all involved. More moves will be coming, and there's also the small matter of Washington's five NFL Draft selections to navigate before preparations for the new campaign gather pace.
Before looking too far ahead, we graded the latest five Commanders signings in 2025 free agency. We'll begin with rotational cornerback Kevon Seymour.
Grading the latest five Commanders signings in 2025 free agency
Commanders re-signed Kevon Seymour
It wasn't the best start to Kevon Seymour's season. In October, the cornerback received a six-game suspension for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing substances policy. This meant his impact on the Washington Commanders was minimal.
Seymour eventually came back onto the roster, featuring in three regular-season games. He wasn't seen on the defensive rotation, but the former seventh-round pick flashed on special teams when called upon.
This was enough for the Commanders to give him another one-year deal. Seymour gets a chance to fight for his roster spot with a full offseason in familiar surroundings. And if last season's major setback taught him anything, the defensive back will relish the prospect of competing.
Seymour probably won't move the needle all that much. The Commanders have Marshon Lattimore, Mike Sainristil, and new signing Jonathan Jones as their new projected starting trio. Noah Igbinoghene re-signed for another year, so this looks like a decent quartet capable of becoming impactful if everyone gets a clear run of luck on the health front.
- Signing grade: B
Everyone else is fighting for the remaining depth chart places. Seymour has experience and urgency, so it'll be interesting to see how he fares when the time comes to resume organized team activities.
