2022 Commanders off season thread part 1

It's kinda surprising to see that we decided to allow Settle and Ioannidis walk away and not extend Payne altogether..

Given what Settle signed for with Buffalo it is mind boggling, almost looks like they are making it up as they go along

Yeah, intriguing to say the least... We went from "can't pay 4 quality interior Dlinemen" to "we can't afford 2"?

Is there a possibility that the beef between him and Allen isn't as settled as we thought it was ? That would play a part in that decision.

Could be, could also be that their initial conversation with his agent was a shock regarding his salary demands. I am supposing that Washington were looking at Vita Veas contract as a bench mark which would have paid him less than Allen. They seemed eager to resign him earlier in the offsesaon so something must have changed.

Shocker...

Like Payne but his production can be replaced a lot easier than Terry's

Agree with that, He's not Allen that's for sure. Honestly if it was between Allen and Terry that would be a tough call.

Allen got paid, Sweat is going to get paid, and very likely Young as well. Payne is the odd man out.

Per The Athletic

"Washington is shopping Deron Payne"

Welp hopefully we get a 3rd for him

I would hope to get more than that, the compensatory pick would likely be a third. Obviously key is to have multiple interested parties, but if it is only a third then you may well keep him as an above average starter in a contract year and pick up the compensation pick later

You don't let Montez Sweat walk , he's got BIG time potential.

CY is a franchise player

Allen is the best of the 3.

Yup, and pass rushers >> interior DL

That's true, but Payne is still a freak, and both CY and Sweat wear underperforming, big time, last year, so I hope the coaching staff identified clearly what went wrong and has a way to fix it.
Now one could say this abundance of talent at DT never really produced the results we were expecting. Hope they can get some value back, Payne is a monster.

[Chief X_Phackter]

Exactly. We knew all along that all four would not be paid. I concur with the three they have apparently chosen to retain.

[Chico23231]

I mean if this was the case…I’m good with it.

But shit, you let Settle walk for peanuts.
