Adam Peters speaks to reporters at the NFL owners meetings in West Palm Beach, FL
The NFL world is in West Palm Beach, FL to kick off the annual NFL owners meetings. There are several rule changes on the table. Washington Commanders GM Adam Peters got the chance to answer some questions from reporters, and also made an appearance on Up & Adams with Kay Adams.
Peters talked about the two trades he made to acquire WR Deebo Samuel and LT Laremy Tunsil. He was happy to add two top players, and he talked about the competitiveness, versatility, and play-making ability of Samuel, who he helped draft when he was with the 49ers. Peters called Tunsil one of the best, and they wanted to bolster the offensive line in Jayden Daniels’ second season.
The Commanders only have five picks going into next month’s draft, and Peters is leaving all options, including adding to the number. Getting a premier CB, WR, and LT were the right moves for the team according to Peters, and he noted that they had nine draft picks last year that made the team, along with two UDFAs. The team has not talked to Tunsil about a new contract, and he represents himself in negotiations.
A Terry McLaurin contract extension is expected before the season starts, but it hasn’t happened yet. Peters said they have had positive conversation’s with McLaurin’s agent, and they’ve expressed that they want him to be here for a long time.
