Sounds like a depth move, not really familiar with him
has been a good run stuffing NT . . . BIG body, entered the NFL at like 335 or 340 and i think is playing at around 325 now. Very nice pick up and will allow for a lot of versatility along the defensive front.

Commanders sign Jonathon Jones . . .

Quote:
Veteran cornerback Jonathan Jones is leaving the Patriots to join the Commanders.

Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports that Jones has agreed to a one-year deal with Washington after nine seasons in New England.

Jones, 31, appeared in 132 games with 71 starts in his time with the Patriots. He totaled 436 tackles, 2.5 sacks, 11 interceptions, 57 pass breakups and 10 forced fumbles.

He started 14 of the 17 games he played last season, recording 58 tackles, six pass breakups and two forced fumbles.

Jones was a core special teams player the first five years of his career but played only 21 special teams snaps the past two seasons combined.

Chargers sign St Juste. Possibly the best news yet.

Re: Washington Free Agents Signings

I don't think this FA class is all that strong in general. There were/are a lot of dbs, but most of the biggest names had pretty terrible seasons in 2024. Most of the WRs never made it to market. DTs got ridiculous contracts in general this offseason (compared to performance).

I imagine AP is looking at all options for a DE. I'm also wondering if maybe the kinlaw deal had incentives (armstrong is $33m/3y, but up to $45m max with incentives).

Re: Washington Free Agents Signings

For DE, it’s appears AP had one or two guys target. If he can’t get those then he isn’t pressed to slide to the next guy who may not like. So then he falls backs to solid vet on one year deals

Think that what happened at both DE and CB.

He’s not pressed to give the high contract to other guys he’s not 100% on. Grown up

Re: Washington Free Agents Signings

I agree. I hear Cincinnati is asking for a 1st round pick for Trey Hendrickson and Hendrickson wants a new deal. That is too much for a 30 year old DE. Yes he is great and fills a big need. But not at that price.

This is insane to me. A first rounder and a new contract for a 30 year old defensive end who will be rapidly approaching the backside of his career is nuts.

GM's are acting because the salary cap has exploded in the last 10 years it means the price for trades has also exploded too.

Re: Washington Free Agents Signings

We just resigned Noah Brown and KJ Osborn to 1 yr deal. I don't think Osborn even played for us last year when we claimed him from the wavier?

Re: Washington Free Agents Signings

Here is what CBS Sports had to say about our off-season so far:

"Washington Commanders: A+

Key additions: WR Deebo Samuel (trade via 49ers, read more), LT Laremy Tunsil (trade via Texans, read more), DT Javon Kinlaw, S Will Harris

Key re-signings: LB Bobby Wagner, TE Zach Ertz, P Tress Way, QB Marcus Mariota

Key departures: S Jeremy Chinn (Raiders), DT Jonathan Allen (Vikings) WR Dyami Brown (Jaguars), OT Cornelius Lucas (Browns)

This is EXACTLY how you build around a franchise quarterback who is still on his rookie contract. The Commanders, fresh off a trip to the NFC Championship, have made several splashes in the early stages of this free-agent cycle. First, they kept their core intact by bringing back Bobby Wagner and Zach Ertz. Meanwhile, they made massive trades landing Deebo Samuel and Laremy Tunsil. That gives Jayden Daniels his much-needed No. 2 receiver and a star left tackle. They also helped out the defensive line by signing Javon Kinlaw. No matter how you slice it, the Commanders are even better than when we last saw them."

Hope this is correct. Love the Deebo signing. Always thought this guy is a stud with a unique, lethal skillset. Tunsil should be good if he cleans up the penalties. Very good pass blocker. Need Kinlaw to come through and be a force on dline. Very good to resign Wagner and Ertz.

HTTC!

We haven't played a game yet so you can't say they're better or worse. Everyone loves it when new players are signed, but they are off their former teams for a reason.

Re: Washington Free Agents Signings

Also, from PFF:

WINNERS

Washington Commanders

"In a free-agent class that lacked top-tier talent, an innovative approach was needed to acquire elite playmakers. Commanders general manager Adam Peters did just that, completing two marquee trades for Deebo Samuel and Laremy Tunsil — two of the highest-graded players to change teams this offseason.

Samuel, a dominant force after the catch, will immediately elevate an offense led by 2024 Rookie of the Year Jayden Daniels. Offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury, known for his screen-heavy scheme, is an ideal coach to maximize Samuel’s versatility. Over his six NFL seasons, Samuel has earned a stellar 97.5 PFF receiving grade on targeted screens, making him the perfect fit to help take Washington’s offense to the next level.

Tunsil’s departure from Houston came as a surprise, but he remains one of the NFL’s elite pass protectors. In 2024, he earned an 88.6 PFF pass-blocking grade — fourth among eligible tackles — while allowing just two sacks and a 3.0% pressure rate. His veteran presence on the Commanders' offensive line will be crucial in helping Jayden Daniels continue his development as the league’s next great quarterback."


It's too soon to evaluate whether or not these moves will have any meaningful impact. And obviously there is A LOT of time left before we even play a game, so there's more moves to be made. If they don't make it to the Superbowl, though, they didn't improve much, right? It's a high bar they set...
