Commanders 2024 Free Agency Thread

Sam Howell at some point will develop into a legit starter in this league .. maybe not a franchise superstar but along the lines of a Mayfield,JimmyG,Ryan Tannahill, Maybe even a Goff .. just watch and you will realize that RR and EB were really bad for Sam ..


I think he’s going to be a Baker or Fitz type. Will come in and win some games and light it up but overall I don’t see him being a top QB

I'm not saying that we should just roll with him, But I'm pretty comfortable letting Quinn and Kliff Kingsbury make the decision on whether we keep him, trade him or scrap him.

We need a really good Veteran Center. Connor Williams is who I am hoping is the first FA pickup.

There are some higher profile free agents out there, but lower key players I'm hoping we take a look at, two offense and two defense:

TE - Noah Fant
WR - Josh Reynolds

LB - Josey Jewell
Edge - Dorance Armstrong

I have always been in the camp that wants to hang on to Sam Howell. The 2nd pick could very well bust and he would be a good safety net. I do agree that he may top out at Baker Mayfield but you can do a lot worse until you find your guy.

I also really like the Dalton Schultz and center ideas. I won't pretend to know a lot about Connor Williams but they need a good vet center badly. I was sorry to learn that the FA market for OG looks like a lot of JAGs, I was hoping we could find a solid starter as guards in free agency are pretty cheap.

I think the Mayfield comparison is fair, maybe more than Fitz. But it also depends on coaching. I don't believe Mayfield was well coached until he got to Tampa, and it's probably too late to turn him into a franchise QB. Howell, on the other hand, might thrive with a good staff, and I'd suggest that's what he's got in Kingsbury's team. Time will tell, but I highly doubt Howell is going anywhere soon unless someone comes in with a trade offer we can't decline. If nothing else, he could be an ideal backup, and cheap for now.

I suspect we'll only have 3 or 4 current OL still on the roster come camp, and only Cosmi starting. I would use the draft to load up on the interior and T as much as possible, but I doubt we get more than 2 or 3 starters. I agree with pursuing a vet C, but we need to also look at T in FA. There are some candidates. Likewise, a vet and a rookie TE make 100% sense. This is where I wished Howell was the man; we could turn that #2 into a bunch of very useful picks.

Franchise tag period runs today through March 5th. Some definite potential names to watch for us.

Can't imagine we'll be tagging anyone.

I meant guys on other teams that hopefully don't get tagged so we can sign them instead.

I know what you meant.

Just saying it's not likely we'll be playing that game this year.
