Commanders hire GM Adam Peters, will aid in coaching search

Adam Peters was officially named general manager of the Washington Commanders Monday.

Peters was identified as the leading candidate last week following seven seasons in the front office of the San Francisco 49ers under GM John Lynch.

Peters will join a coaching search committee being guided by executives Bob Myers and Rick Spielman, both hired the day after the 2023 season ended, and limited partners Earvin “Magic” Johnson, David Blitzer and Mitch Rales.

All five have been involved in the interview process with coaching candidates, the Commanders said.

Lynch hired Peters, 44, on his second day with the 49ers in 2017.

With the 49ers, Peters was vice president of player personnel and assistant general manager, and had a hand in San Francisco drafting quarterback Brock Purdy among other foundational pieces for the NFC West champions.

Peters has been in NFL scouting for 21 years, starting with six seasons as a scout with the New England Patriots before becoming the director of college scouting with the Denver Broncos. Both franchises won the Super Bowl during Peters’ time with the teams, and the Patriots won two.

The Commanders were 4-13 in 2023 and fired head coach Ron Rivera earlier this month.

Washington has the No. 2 pick in the 2024 draft among five picks in the first three rounds, having added a second-round pick from the Chicago Bears for defensive end Montez Sweat and a third-rounder from the 49ers in exchange for Chase Young at the trade deadline in October.
