As the Washington Commanders approach the end of the 2025 season, several players face uncertainty regarding their futures with the team. General manager Adam Peters and head coach Dan Quinn are closely evaluating the roster as they look to identify necessary improvements heading into the offseason.

According to 's Rag', the final three games will be crucial for players trying to secure their positions, as performance under pressure can reveal a lot about a player's resolve. Among those on notice is kicker Jake Moody, who must maintain perfection after signing off the Chicago Bears' practice squad, as the Commanders have struggled to find stability in the kicking position.

Additionally, defensive tackle Daron Payne's future is in question, with one year remaining on his four-year, $90 million contract. While his performance has been inconsistent, the team must decide whether to extend him, trade him, or potentially release him to save cap space, as he counts $28.01 million against the salary cap next year.

With fans anticipating significant changes to the roster and possibly the coaching staff, the Commanders' final games will play a pivotal role in shaping the team's future.
