Commanders 2024 Free Agency Thread

These moves aren't the end of the plan, they are clearly foundational moves for building a strong competitive franchise.

Yeah, not sure why he's in an uproar about those FA moves. They were one year deals at lost costs. It's a win win. You upgrade what you had before without breaking the bank and allowing you to use them as stop gaps. Ertz, Ekeler, and Wagner were great moves IMO. Not much risk to them. If they flop, it was a one year deal. Nobody cares.

If you read what I wrote I do like some of the moves and overall I like that Peters is shaking things up. There were a few that I would have passed on. Definitely not in an uproar.. These are all smart signings financially.

rome wasn't built in a day

i would think adams is trying to build something competitive for next year then to continue to build from there

non of these signings make super excited that we are even playoff bound next year but its a start

Well said! It feels so good to see our new leadership in action that I can hardly wait until the draft.

And we don't want to pay him that much? I would prefer to have Curl instead of Chinn..

Chinn fits what they want to do, but Curl is so bright and versatile I am surprised they could not find a spot for him, especially at that price. Its not like they have better options with Percy Butler and Darrick Forrest, they are just cheaper.

Seems a little odd we weren't willing to match that. Maybe he didn't want to come back, or maybe they didn't think he was a good fit.

It's funny how our LB group looks to be the strongest position group on the Defense - for now.

love how the off season and FA signings have gone but still two positions of need are OT and CB little surprised we have not signed either one yet , ,, thruthfully we really don,t have any OT on the roster and razor thin at CB

And the fuller contract…

Maybe, just maybe the league isn’t as upbeat about our players as we are.

Can’t wait to hear Kam’s dad reaction. He’s a complete bitch ass

Actually I'm beginning to think one of the objectives was a big turnover to ease a change in locker room culture. That could explain passing on retaining our own players.

Maybe, just maybe the front office didnt think he was as good as some fans thought, he's a solid tackler and he wanted almost double what he ended up getting. The league showed his value. We arent missing out on anything
