3-6 record, Jayden Daniels injury could make Commanders trade-deadline sellers

The Washington Commanders suffered a significant setback with a 38-7 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, dropping their record to 3-6, which essentially removes them from contention in the competitive NFC playoff race. Compounding the issue, quarterback Jayden Daniels sustained a serious arm injury during the game, further diminishing the team's prospects for a strong season finish. As the NFL trade deadline approaches, Commanders owner Josh Harris may direct General Manager Adam Peters to offload players, particularly those with expiring contracts or those expected to be released after the season. Potential trade candidates include pass rusher Von Miller, wide receiver Deebo Samuel, and linebacker Bobby Wagner, each of whom could attract interest from playoff-bound teams seeking experienced talent. The Commanders' shift from potential buyers to sellers at the trade deadline highlights their current strategy to rebuild and focus on future team development.
