Changes were always going to come in the Washington Commanders' cornerback room this offseason. The incomings have been minor so far, but the departures decided by general manager Adam Peters have been far more telling.
And for one Super Bowl winner whose time with the club didn't go according to plan, he went from hero to villain in a heartbeat.
The Commanders signed Jonathan Jones last offseason. This affirmed their intent to win now, even as they relied on aging veterans with deep playoff experience. As fans know, this strategy blew up in Peters' face, and it's been refreshing to see a seismic shift in his recruitment approach so far in free agency.
