2022 Commanders off season thread part 1

Here's the real problem with the AJ Brown trade - Eagles gave him 4 years, 100 mil, 57 million guaranteed. Assuming you think Terry Mac is on his level the Eagles just reset the WR extension market.

Pay Terry 101 and 58 million.

He is absolutely everything you want from a football player, and plays a key position.

And our team needs him.

McLaurin on O and Allen on D. Amazing leadership on both sides.

TM should get something very similar, maybe a little more, possibly a little less. But that's the framework.

Yep. $26M per year is 4% more than Brown. $24M per year is 4% less. We're talking percentage points, just try to give him the same thing. If he asks for $26M say yes and be done w it.

No way we're getting a 1st round pick. I agree with you. He should be worth a 3rd or 4th round pick, which is ok...but maybe the best bet is let him play out the season and not worry about replacing him just yet.

I would be ok either way - trade him now or let him walk after the season is over. But if they are willing to trade him now, they better have a plan to replace what he brings.

In the last 2 years, we have done well with the leftover players after free agency and draft so I expect to see similar results this year. I really hope we will sign a couple of new LBs eventually. We cannot start the season with the current LBs corp.

-Knock Knock.
-Who's there ?
-Franck.
-Franck who?

-Franck Leesspeaking if they don't sign one of these guys before the start of TC, I'll lose faith in this regime. And I do think so far they're having a very, very solid offseason. Including the draft. But 2 years in a row of the same mistake would be beyond my understanding... But for now let's stay positive and say they've been really smart not to overpay before the draft, and they can still get a quality guy on the cheap now !

-Well, Franck, that's a long ass name.
-I know, sorry, French hasn't had his coffee yet, anyway, have a nice day!

I get the feeling the o-line is going to be on the struggle bus.

pretty good coaching there, I think they'll be fine (unless massive injuries hit or the like). Wentz does like to hold it too long sometimes though, which can make everyone look bad.

Disagree. I think they did a solid job, letting Flowers go was a risky move but they then signed Norwell and Turner for cheaper than his contract.

Leni - Norwell - Roullier - Schweitzer - Cosmi
+
Turner, Lucas and Charles (who isn't starter caliber but showed some signs of improvement) as quality back ups

What don't you like in this line up ?

I think they're weaker at guard and the center is coming off a bad injury. Cosmi was just ok. Leno was a great pickup.

The thing is I don't think the drop in play (not talent, play) between a banged up Scherff and a healthy Schweitzer isn't that big.
I was high on Flowers and I don't know Norwell, but it seems like he's a solid pick up, we'll see.
Roullier coming off an injury is worrying to some extent, but, as someone here reminded me, Larsen filled in surprisingly well last year. And while it does take time to heal, I don't think a broken leg is the kind of injury that lingers (I know Alex Smith begs to disagree, but that was a freakish run of bad luck).
And I'd say Cosmi in his second year should provide solid play.

I don't really see the big drop in play from last year. One could even say we improved our depth.

[Chief X_Phackter]

It's difficult to predict how the O-line will fare this year without Scherff. If my memory serves me correctly, I don't think they won a game without him in the lineup last year. Could have been a coincidence. I don't like Roullier coming off a broken leg, but Larsen proved to be a capable backup. If Norwell and Turner still have it, and Chase comes back healthy, I think the unit will be fine.

[sdskinsfan2001]

I think O-Line is our best unit, contingent on Cosmi being in the line-up (healthy).

Oh it probably is. That said the OL talent has declined since last season so it probably won't be as good.
