Re: Commanders 2024 Free Agency Thread
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.

Re: Commanders 2024 Free Agency Thread
I do hope we resign Reeves. Great on teams and played well at S when given the chance. I’d like to see Fuller back and Lucas as a reserve T. Need more T and CB help for sure.

Re: Commanders 2024 Free Agency Thread
Still some good CBs out there, including Fuller.
Still some good OTs out there too. This is also considered a deep draft class for these two positions. Last edited by Chief X_Phackter; 03-12-2024 at 10:53 PM. |

Re: Commanders 2024 Free Agency Thread
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.

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

Commanders 2024 Free Agency Thread

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. |

Re: 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.

Re: Commanders 2024 Free Agency Thread
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. |

Re: Commanders 2024 Free Agency Thread
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.

Re: Commanders 2024 Free Agency Thread
If Chinn gets back to how he played in his rookie and second year, I'd easily take him over Curl.

I'm not criticizing Chinn, not everyone we pick up can be an upgrade. Curl is better, far better, and I'm not the only one who thinks that, as outside of many Redskins fans (since yesterday) everyone thinks that. He is a fine tackler, but he can't cover, he never could even in the 2020-2021 seasons. They used him more as a hybrid LB/SS in 2020-2021. I'm sure the coaching staff knows that and will use him appropriately. Last edited by nonniey; 03-13-2024 at 10:58 AM. |
