Commanders 2024 Free Agency Thread

I dont view Curl as being as good as some of you, so I definitely think Chinn can replace him.

Well, that is one starter we need another.

The draft is right there bro. The point is to keep a rotation. As of right now Ferrell starts, Fowler is in on pass rush situations.

I must not having been watching the same games. I didn't see much out of curl that screamed out to me. Solid? sure, but not ed reed/ST etc. He's replaceable and this FA class was/is full of 26-27 year old solid safeties. Chinn will probably be fine and used more in run support.

Safety and RB are places where you can go cheap (in a 4-3, you can also generally have average DEs and 1 garbage LB and still be okay).

We really do need an OT and true #1 CB in the worst way though, and this isn't a great FA class for those.

Guarantee I still have that record from 2007


Lol. I remember hearing about that years ago when i joined here and gave you a run for your money.

Chinn is not here as a mentor (he is 26), and if he can stay healthy (like anyone else), and is used properly (like anyone else) can certainly be an upgrade from the mighty Kam Curl, or any other safety on our team. Okie is 100 percent right.

Stop being pollyannish - Chinn is most definitely not an upgrade on Curl (a significant down grade in fact). That said he is a lot more economical (Curl will get 8-10 mil or more a year versus just 5 mil for Chinn). I'm not criticizing the signing just pointing out what it is.

chinn is bigger and faster and makes more big time plays then curl. what has curl done that you can say wow ?without a doubt definitely upgrade

got remember too curl was on a team swimming in bad players it didn't take much to stand out on the 23 commanders D

if i go ask my buddy big nfl/steelers fan if he knows curl i am guessing no, curl is nothing special to the nfl

not saying chinn is setting the league on fire but maybe adam sees a equal or better player at a discounted rate then curl ; we need value signings more then every signing being a homerun/ blockbuster

the worst thing we can do is use up a ton of cap space on high profile players that are ,considering the current state of our team, only going to marginally help us

If Chinn gets back to how he played in his rookie and second year, I'd easily take him over Curl.

This 100 percent. Even if the player is a bonafide stud you cannot break the bank with so many holes to fill. It is a team sport. The trick is to draft right, and get solid starters in FA and upgrade the team. Look at the Giants. They tossed huge money at Burns. He is a great player no doubt, and now they will have a guy with 15 sacks on a 4 win team. We have spent wisely and acquired 8 starters who instantly make us better. 8 starters who are an upgrade over what we had. Some are a vast upgrade. Absolutely the smartest FA period we have witnessed in years.

OT, CB, QB in the draft is now pretty set in stone imo and there are plenty of them available.
At number 2 is clearly the QB. With our two seconds and two thirds we can get an OT, and CB that should be pretty much bpa anyway. With the rest of the picks we can go bpa all the way. This is an exciting time to be a fan.
