This is the first time he\u2019s spoken to the media <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hogshaven.com\/pressers\/394344\/adam-peters-and-dan-quinn-talk-about-the-season-and-the-future-of-the-franchise\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">since right after the season ended<\/a>. The Commanders replaced two coordinators since then, promoting assistant QB coach to OC, and hiring Daronte Jones from the Vikings as the new DC.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Peters was asked a wide range of questions about the team, the new coaching staff, free agency, and of course this year\u2019s draft. Signing Laremy Tunsil remains a priority, saying he doesn\u2019t want it to drag on like the Terry McLaurin deal last year. Protecting Jayden Daniels is obviously a top priority, and the Commanders have been rebuilding the offensive line over the last two years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Peters said the team isn\u2019t negotiating a new deal with Daron Payne, and there have been reports about the team keeping for him, despite his high cap hit this season. Peters said they wouldn\u2019t discuss a new deal with him until after the season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Marshon Lattimore is another player that capologists are checking off the list for added cap space after his release. Lattimore\u2019s ACL tear could lead to an injury settlement, but John Keim added that the decision isn\u2019t about a settlement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Brandon Aiyuk? Peters loves the person, but can\u2019t talk to the player while he\u2019s under contract with another team.<\/p>\n<p>New deal for Laremy Tunsil:<\/p>\n<p>No replacement for Brian Johnson:<\/p>\n<p>New senior director of player health and performance:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Washington Commanders general manager Adam Peters spoke to reporters at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis today.
