2024 Commanders Off-Season Thread

[sdskinsfan2001]

Man, it's getting close to at least pre-season. Yay football!

[Chief X_Phackter]

It will be such a different team this year. It's looking like we'll have at least six different starters on both the offense and the defense, compared to who started the season a year ago.

Pretty significant (and much needed) turnover in a year's time.

Jesus, I couldn’t log into Taptalk for months. I thought they erased my entire account. Not Commies related but I’m back just in time for preseason next month. Let’s gooooo

I honestly don't think Quinn or Whitt Jr. care where he was drafted. Yes, he's athletic but lbs were horrible last year. I imagine he makes the team but wouldn't be shocked if he doesn't. New regime means decisions.

I'm sure they watched all his film from last year, didn't like what they saw, now they're trying to save him a roster spot this year by finding something he's good at but if they can't find it cut their losses early. Is what it is. We won 4 games last year - nobody's job is safe.

Davis is athletically a freak of nature. While he might not play a majority of downs, I absolutely think Quinn and Whitt can put him into position to be a valuable contributor in 2024.

As it should be. League is merciless with coaches and players staying in the league. Watching Davis will be worth monitoring in camp now for sure. Not going to argue with Quinn or Whitt on the defense. I have doubts Davis has the size to effectively rush the passer with consistency, but I sure hope I am wrong.

Aiyuk posting Commanders' practice footage:

Weird. Not crazy he has access to this however he got it. Dude will be a Niner this year, barring an attractive trade option for SF.

More smoke about an Aiyuk to Washington trade:

Still doubt it goes down. Do NOT want to trade McLaurin for him or a high pick. Only way I entertain this is mid level draft pick(s) and sign Aiyuk to a long term deal. Kid is really good and a great blocker.

I think the best move would be waiting it out instead of giving up capitals, simply because we are still not done with rebuilding the team. If Aiyuk isn't franchise tagged next year then I wouldn't be surprised if we pursue him.

Agreed. I cannot remember a qb and wr as tight as Daniels and Aiyuk when on different teams. Aiyuk not shy at all about airing it publicly.

I like Aiyuk’s play, but I’m not crazy about his style. If he comes here and thinks he isn’t getting enough targets, does he start shooting his mouth off?

I think Peters is too savvy to trade for him now. He truly understands and respects the value of draft picks. Also wouldn't be surprised if Quinn/Peters had a chat with Daniels about Aiyuk. Aiyuk showing Commanders' formations is not a good look.

Gold pants coming back this year, makes the uniforms a little more tolerable

Pretty loud uniforms to say the least. I like it though. Love the helmets since they rolled out.
