Commanders Free Agency Expectations

[EdmundDorf]

On the plus side, as the first year cap hit is usually engineered to be less than half the APY of the contract we should get an extra $8-10m in cap space aswell

But none on an OLinemen or QB, which is the beauty of maybe signing Sweat and Chase. Most teams have their money invested on both DL and OL. I would now cut Thomas and Roullier.

I’m pretty surprised this got done, because as soon as the ink goes on the contract the commanders have to put the $60M guaranteed cash aside in escrow. So Dan either signed off on that, or the sale is so close and so assured that he doesn’t care because he’s about to land $6B.

But I’ll take it! Happy to lock up our guys. What we do at end is a really interesting question now. Trade Chase? I can see an argument for it.

Big move, love it

Interesting tidbit on escrow requirements

Kevin Sheehan on Twitter

(1of 2) So on the “escrow” requirement for the Payne deal.

@SalaryCap101 just told me the review for 2023 escrow requirements just took place on Jan 31st 2023.

Deadline to fund is end of this month on March 31st.

But because the Payne deal came after this yrs review date…

(2 of 2) ….his deal won’t be reviewed for escrow purposes until the next review date which is Jan 31st, 2024.

So, whatever portion of the gtd $60M hasn’t been paid as of next year, that amt will be will be put into escrow.

Translation, the next owner 🤞will fund it.

Per Keim:

Would not surprise me if Heinicke is next, but not sure if he'll want to test the market or not.

He's a solid backup. I would not want to move on from him unless it's some stupid money.

I’ve seen enough. He needs an opportunity somewhere else.

Give me a more experienced passer running a mature offense by EB.

Would you rather have Marcus Mariota? I say bring Heinicken back, maybe he'll get better with EB. Chad Henne was mediocre journey man and became a solid backup under Reid and EB

that is a lot of money tied up in two d-tackles!! but they aren't paying a QB so I say really good move!

[FrenchSkin]

Very glad about the Payne deal, yes that's a lot of money invested into our Dline, but I feel like we haven't seen this team use its strength to its full potential yet, so I'd hate to see some of them go already, not now, not when we're on the verge of hopefully finally having competent leadership.

I don't want a big $ DB in FA, we have 4 very good guys, draft some depth and hopefully a fifth solid starter.

Save our cap space to sign one solid ILB and a couple of decent Olinemen !

Apparently Paynes new deal clears $9.4m in cap space according to PFT, puts us well over 20m

I don’t think you are going to see them splurging in FA. They need value FA like Dillard
Oline from Philly, I have a feeling Holcomb is not coming back now.
