The Washington Commanders have a lot to be excited about. Behind an exceptional year from rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, the Commanders went all the way to the NFC Championship before falling to the eventual Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles.
The Commanders are looking to have an even more successful season in the 2025 campaign, but they’ll have to do it without a key contributor to last season’s success, according to Pro Football Talk.
“General Manager Adam Peters announced on Tuesday that senior personnel executive/advisor to the G.M. Martin Mayhew has decided to retire,” reported PFT.
“When I got here, he was one of the first people I really wanted to keep and work with,” Peters said on Tuesday. “I was lucky enough that he wanted to stay, and we couldn’t have done what we did last year without him.”
Mayhew was Washington’s G.M. from 2021-2023 and decided to stay on and assist with the team’s transition after the new ownership hired Peters. Peters went on about what Mayhew meant to himself and the organization.
“He was instrumental in everything we did in terms of the draft and free agency. He made a lot of big deals in free agency. He’s a great friend, great confidant, and a great person.
“I just wanted to thank him for all he’s given to this franchise and this league. He will be missed. But just wanted to say how much I appreciate him.”
Hopefully, Mayhew enjoys his retirement.
