Riggo's Rag

● By Dean Jones
A disappointing loss on Thursday Night Football against the Philadelphia Eagles proved two things where the Washington Commanders are concerned. They have made a sensational start better than anyone envisaged. And there is still a long road ahead before they are ready for a Super Bowl challenge. That won't go unnoticed by general manager Adam Peters as part of his ongoing assessments. The respected front office leader shifted gears slightly by trading for stud cornerback Marshon Lattimore before the deadline. But this remains a long-term project with plenty of flexibility heading into the 2025 offseason. Washington has over $104 million in salary cap space with 31 players under contract. They also have seven selections during the draft. Both could increase depending on what Peters has up his sleeve.
