Peters: “This is where I’m supposed to be. I can’t tell you how excited I am to be here. I’m pinching myself… This is one of the cornerstone franchises in the NFL.”

Adam Peters: “This where I’m supposed to be — the general manager of the Washington Commanders. … I promise you I’ll work tirelessly to build this franchise. This is one of the cornerstone franchise in the NFL. … I could not be more thrilled to be here.”

Adam Peters: “It’s the opportunity of a lifetime.”

Adam Peters: “This is not a total rebuild. There are a ton of wonderful people here that just need leadership.”

Will be very curious to see what happens with Martin Mayhew and Marty Hurney moving forward, with Adam Peters now in charge.
I hope the #Commanders consider keeping Tim Gribble on staff. He’s been running the #NFL Draft since Kyle Smith was promoted, etc.

“Aligned vision” > culture

Kyle Shanahan just mentioned positively (by Peters) inside the facility. It’s definitely a new era.

Adam Peters signed his contract with Washington yesterday, so he didn’t take part in the virtual HC interviews last week. But he’ll be at the center of them going forward.
— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) January 16, 2024
Rams DC Raheem Morris is scheduled to interview with the Commanders this Thursday, per source.
Cowboys DC Dan Quinn also slated for a video conference interview on Thursday.

Lions OC Ben Johnson has a virtual interview with the Commanders on Friday, per source.
— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) January 16, 2024
He’s kinda lost in the shuffle behind Slowik and Ben Johnson but man Dave Canales impresses me in a big way. Best Baker has looked since Oklahoma. That offense moves. Uses all the weapons and runs the ball well.

New #Commanders GM Adam Peters says the situation in Washington is very similar to what the #49ers had in 2017 when he arrived there.
“Ultimately we’re gonna build through the draft and supplement through free agency.”
The #49ers had the No. 2 pick and the second-most cap space… pic.twitter.com/thzsN9rDcm

Shockingly, Adam Peters did not divulge who the Commanders plan to select with their No. 2 pick.
— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) January 16, 2024
Peters: “You’ll see great competitors, you’ll see a physical team. You’ll be really impressed what you see on the field.”
Said even if the W-L isn’t what everyone wants right away, people will see the changes taking place.— John Keim (@john_keim) January 16, 2024

Was Rivera really fired just last week?
Seems like a lifetime ago…

Teams are going to have the top 8-10 OT’s in all different orders. They are each outstanding but come with diff skills & traits. I don’t think there’s a clear cut top guy right now. A bunch of guys competing for that top spot. Great year to need one! Loaded OT class.

#Eagles C Jason Kelce informed teammates after last night’s loss he will retire, as @AdamSchefter said. Kelce’s emotional final few moments on the field, in which he hugged longtime OL coach Jeff Stoutland, wrapped up a 13-year, seven-time Pro Bowl, six-time All-Pro career. https://t.co/7k5Pz5eXS9
— Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) January 16, 2024
Back in Week 8, Jason Kelce joined The NFL Report and spoke at length about retirement. About how this “very well could be it”. About why he approached this season with a mindset that he didn’t want to miss out on any opportunity to do something special, so he took on a lot. pic.twitter.com/V1xddXXQ6D

Only two coaches have been fired in the season after losing the Super Bowl.
– Bill Callahan (Raiders, 2003)
– John Fox (Broncos, 2014)The Raiders haven’t won a playoff game while employing 10 other coaches.
The Broncos won Super Bowl 50.

Chiefs at Bills next Sunday will be Patrick Mahomes’ first-ever road playoff game. All of Mahomes’ 15 career playoff games have been played in Kansas City or in a Super Bowl. pic.twitter.com/mXOmLSkwej

Josh Allen fake slid and gained an extra 20 yards, later in the game he actually slid and the defender was forced to hit him because he was afraid of giving up a big play & was penalized for it.
This needs to be fixed by the NFL.

#Rams TE Tyler Higbee did, in fact, tear his ACL after that brutal low hit by #Lions safety Kerby Joseph, source said after the MRI. He faces a challenge to be ready for the start of next season.
Joseph wrote on social media: “I don’t have no intention to hurt no body and or… pic.twitter.com/jmfBjwGkuZ

Pretty interesting. Young rugby star leaves his sport to chase his dream of playing in the NFL. https://t.co/F9Lx9fm2EH

Here are highlights from Rugby star Louis Rees-Zammit who left his sport to come in and chase his dream of playing American football. I don’t know what position he’ll play but he will definitely be a gunner on special teams.https://t.co/eQ0qzRRj3m

Down by 18 points, against 12 personnel, you’re in NICKEL for some reason and you walk out there in this look.
I am confused. Perplexed. Befuddled, if you will. pic.twitter.com/hie6NagRRd

I’m so old I remember a time where TV announcers weren’t suggesting the coach of every team who lost a playoff game was going to get fired in a few days
— Dave Scarangella (@DaveScarangella) January 16, 2024
I do not believe the decisions by Jerry Jones nor Howie Roseman are difficult.
Football wise—It’s obvious what they both have to do.
