Adam Peters is in a tricky spot heading into the 2025 trade deadline. The Washington Commanders could use another capable performer to help. However, the general manager has given up substantial assets in recent months on Marshon Lattimore, Deebo Samuel Sr., and Laremy Tunsil.
That could make Peters hesitant. At the same time, Washington's aggressive front-office leader won't hesitate to make another bold move if he genuinely believes it can help their playoff push.
Several names are being touted as potential trade candidates ahead of the November 4 cut-off point. Adam Schefter from ESPN believes there could be a lot of activity this year as teams either make a push or consolidate. A couple of notable trade moves have already been finalized, and more are probably on the way.
Commanders named as possible trade landing spot for Breece Hall
Ayrton Ostly from USA Today had the perfect fit in mind for Washington. It's a risk, but the analyst believes making the New York Jets an offer for running back Breece Hall could be worth its weight in gold — something that would take the heat off rookie sensation Jacory Croskey-Merritt for good measure.
"This would be a move that will likely require Washington to dip into future draft years beyond 2026 to make it work given what they traded for [Laremy] Tunsil. That makes this a risky proposition. But the team is currently relying on Jacory "Bill" Croskey-Merritt in the backfield and a slew of current or soon-to-be players in their 30s in Terry McLaurin (30), Deebo Samuel (30 on Jan. 16) and Zach Ertz (35). This offense needs another younger, dynamic player if they want to compete in the playoffs once again. That could be [Breece] Hall."
