Re: Commanders 2024 Free Agency Thread
Wagner is on his 3rd team in 3 years and will be 34 by the time we play our fnext game... SMH...
Some of these signings have been solid, some are real head scratchers and this is one of them. |

It's a 1 year deal. It can't hurt. And he's definitely in the top 3 lb on the team.

Re: Commanders 2024 Free Agency Thread
Agreed Edit: I also think a top 3 round LB would be fine. Davis sucks.

Commanders 2024 Free Agency Thread
Quote:
It’s a one year deal and we had the worst LB’s in football. We can also draft one who can learn from the master now. It is a great move. Tackle and Corner will be addressed in the draft. We absolutely knocked FA out of the park. We have 9 new starters. 10 - forgot about Ott. 2020 pro bowl long snapper. All upgrades. All under 3 year contracts. Still 6 picks in the top 100. This is going to be a completely different team. |

Re: Commanders 2024 Free Agency Thread
I love it, but the saddest part of this is also that we have 10 new starters through free agency...Half the team (starters) needed to be replaced. Probably more...draft will be fun!

Absolutely counting ST’s especially LS. What a fucking disaster that was. DE Dorance Armstrong LB Frankie Luvu C Tyler Biadasz RB Austin Ekeler G Nick Allegretti EDGE Clelin Ferrell - this is who you were either forgetting or not starting S Jeremy Chinn K Brandon McManus LS Tyler Ott Wasn’t counting Ertz. Wagner might not have been signed when i posted that. He is 10. |

Let's be honest, most of these guys are injury prone, past their primes or didn't live up to their potential. The good part is these are team friendly deals. Smart signings money wise. I get what Peters is doing. He has to come in here and start turning this roster over. I just think a few of these signings are terrible. But some are good, particularly the center. Gotta get an experienced center if you're playing a rookie. |

Ertz .. always hurt, past his prime. Hoping we finally draft a true Y TE. Wagner.. past his prime, can't run anymore but is still a beast in the box. It's a passing league so I would expect him to get exposed in the passing game. I remember Gibson toasting him when we played Seattle. Should have done more of that but EB is an idiot. Fowler... never reached his potential but I like this one. Low risk, high reward. Mariota... terrible. He's a effing quitter and I would never sign a guy like that. Plus he sucks. Sam has way more upside. The rest are pretty good. I'm not gonna look at everything through my Commanders glasses. I don't hate all the signings. As I said I like some, some I don't. For the most part I like what Peters is going, gutting a bad roster. |

* Some solid day one starters (Luvo, Armstrong, and Biadasz) * Two needed specialists (McManus and Ott) * Low risk/high reward guys past their primes (Ertz, Ekeler, Wagner) * And the rest are going to compete for starting spots and/or serve as backups. IMO these are smart signings, with good team friendly contracts, and needed bodies since the team has let most of the expiring contracts walk. We know this team is going to build through the draft and using free agency as a complement to the draft. And they are sticking to the plan, and that is better than any flashy free agency acquisition (how many of those have worked out in the past? None).

?? Most??? Most of these players are not past their primes or injury prone. Alegretti 27 no injury concerns; Biadiax 26 no injury concerns; D Armstrong 26 no injury concerns; Luvu 27 no injury concerns; That's four starters, the other 2 that are clearly starters, Wagner has no injury concerns and Chinn is 26 and both those guys have minimal 1 year contracts. |
