2024 Commanders Off-Season Thread

FedEx is no more...

@john_keim
As the @washingtonpost reported FedEx dropped its naming rights to the stadium with 2 years left on the deal. Was allowed to do based on ownership change. Initial deal was 27 years, 205 mil, so this costs approx $15 mil in revenue.

That's an interesting move on FedEx's end, I would have assumed any businesses that partners with Commanders would be happy with the new owners.

Probably just a chance for them to cut costs, like any business these days

[GridIron26]

Yeah I didn't consider that.. Nonetheless, I'm sure we will have no problem finding a new stadium sponsorship if the owners want one.

The two-time defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs were the second-lowest graded team in the NFL -- ahead of only the Washington Commanders -- in the second annual "report card" that ranks teams according to various categories based on the results of player surveys.

Interesting note ownership got a B, coaching got to C, our strength coaches got an A, Everything else had a D or lower, with a lot of F-'s. How bad do you have to be to get an F minus!!

To be fair the players were polled last October, doubtful the Harris group had time to make significant changes. Weird that the ESPN article doesn't give a link to the list.

Thanks for adding the link. They were indeed polled early, but that makes the B ownership received even more noticeable. I am fairly confident that in the past, it would have been an F-. Also, Rivera as head coach got a C, so I don't think he was respected in the locker room as was always made out.

[Chief X_Phackter]

I think he was respected, but he also bears responsibility for the results and most of the decisions (made, not made, or made too late). Therefore, he gets an average overall grade.

Another oddity of that report card, 30 of the 32 teams received a B or better grade for their Strength Staff, but Baltimore of all clubs received an F- (Atlanta received a D- )

That weightroom must be awkward af right now.

[Darrell Green Fan]

Yeah that survey does not reflect the direction the team is going, it's just another indictment of Daniel Snyder.

I too was a bit surprised at this move by Fed Ex. If there was ever a time to latch on to a team this would be the time and this would be the team. But who knows, maybe the new deal they strike will be even better.
