Adam Petters has plenty of resources at his disposal this offseason.
There is an urgent need to maximize quarterback Jayden Daniels’ rookie contract. The more money Peters has, the better Washington’s chances of attracting the right talent will be.
Before then, let’s take a look at Washington’s top 10 biggest 2025 salary-cap hits entering the offseason.
Some on this list are arguably more deserving than others. Peters has big decisions to make at the top order, with the defensive tackle tandem of Daron Payne and Jonathan Allen coming firmly under the microscope.
Cornerback Marshon Lattimore needs to show more, which is likely with a full offseason and more knowledge of the defensive schematics. Andrew Wylie looks like a potential salary-cap-cut candidate.

Taylor has great size (6-foot-5, 250), bloodlines and he’s only 20 years old. Taylor is an ascending prospect who is unafraid to mix it up in the run game. The Commanders could also get a good scouting report on Taylor from Jayden Daniels, who played with him for two years.
Conerly is strictly a tackle prospect who should start immediately at left tackle in the NFL. Conerly opened eyes with his performance against Penn State’s Abdul Carter, who seem believe is the top prospect in this draft. Conerly has had a good week overall, but lost some reps to Mike Green.

Ivey started his college career at Georgia Tech before transferring to Ole Miss in 2022. He was an instant contributor for the Rebels, finishing ninth in school history with 16 sacks, five pass breakups and three forced fumbles.
At 6-foot-5 and 283 pounds, Ivey...
