• The Washington Commanders’ hire of Adam Peters to lead their football operation is a smart, sensible pick to invest in a guy who’s been on the rise for a while.
The 44-year-old came up through the Patriots, Denver Broncos and San Francisco 49ers organizations, and got to Super Bowls in his time with all three teams. His last step in San Francisco was as John Lynch’s right-hand man over the previous seven seasons (the first four as VP of player personnel, the last three as assistant general manager).
If you want a feel for his work, the Niners’ roster is a pretty good place to start, with his strong reputation as an evaluator proven out in the players that San Francisco is putting on the field on a weekly basis. But beyond just that, Peters’s people skills have also stood out to those around him over the years, an indication he’d grow well into a GM job. “He can relate to people well. He connects,” said one former coworker of his from Denver. “So he should be able to create a good, positive culture.”
Titles are titles, and for right now, Peters’s title will be general manager. But Harris has communicated that the Commanders would be set up like his other teams, with a head of business and a head of that sport’s operations. Team president Jason Wright is the former, and now Peters is the latter, with both reporting to Harris.
Next up for Peters are a coaching search and a press conference Tuesday.
This was the guy I was rooting for before Joe Schoen was hired. I hope he fails at his new job, but my fear is he will make the Commodes respectable

Washington won't be a push over for long. nope and they have good scouts over there. They consistently find good trench players and have found weapons too. It is mostly crazy ownership decisions on QBs that frigged them. With someone smart in charge this is not good news for the rest of the NFC East |

So they may very well get their QB right away. Might be a big reason why Peters took the job. |

I hope he fails at his new job, but my fear is he will make the Commodes respectable He was in for our GM search would have been very happy with him if they went that way, I was happy we hired Schoen I would be saying the same thing if it were reversed. I'm no expert on GM candidates but he sounds like a real good hire for Washington. |

Might be a big reason why Peters took the job. Don't kid yourself it was a huge reason he has a black canvas in washington they cleared the decks have a good cap situation and several picks in the top 100. Much like Schoen when he came here he had great draft capital and he was scouting players for years so he knew there were at least a few guys on the roster in Thomas / Lawrence / McKinney/ Barkley/ Jackson throw Love in there to that he could count on. Situations matter Washington was ready to go it will be Petersons team from the start. |

With someone smart in charge this is not good news for the rest of the NFC East They also had McVay, Shanahan and Lafleur on thier coaching staff and could not keep one of them. Two of them already have SB appearances. |
