Commanders Have to Prove They're a Destination for Elite Players

The Quenton Nelson trade to Seattle raises a bigger question for the Washington Commanders than whether Adam Peters should have matched a third-round pick and future fifth. We separate what's confirmed from what's unknown, including whether Washington was ever a realistic destination for Nelson, and what that possibility would say about Josh Harris, Peters, Dan Quinn and the organization's direction. We also revisit Peters' decision to release Tyler Biadasz before Washington secured a replacement at center.
