Commanders 2024 Free Agency Thread

I wonder, given the number of teams with cap issues and the amount of cap space we have whether the FO is thinking about leveraging the cap space this year to get extra draft picks by effectively trading the cap space, it had been done before.

I think they'll use this year to fill some holes with short term deals, draft the QB of the future, and start rebuilding the roster through the draft. I don't think they'll trade cap space (didn't know that was a thing), or make a ton of big splashes in FA.

If they hit on the QB, are competitive in the division, and improve the facilities, this will be a more desirable destination for players next year.

Throughout his career until 2019. Since then he has missed an average of 8 games a year. Missed 10 last year. Dude is toast. You want to bring him here to help with his knowledge of the offense make him a TE coach and save the roster spot.

It isn’t a huge deal, but I really don’t think the guy brings anything to the table.

He's no doubt coming here at a bargain price on a one year deal. We have the money to find out if he is toast or he can play a role in our offense. This is a no risk scenario. If he's done, then cut him. If he sticks, we'll have a veteran influence in the TE room.

We have a ton of cap space, so why wouldn't we add a young star or two now to anchor our team? Josh Allen, for example, is a 26 year old Pro Bowl Edge. Pay him the money! He likes money, I assume. To me, money trumps a warmer shower room any day.

Also, are you not listening to what our new GM and HC keep telling us about not rebuilding but intending to win now? I believe them, so I say let them over-spend to beat out the other teams for FA's they want.

Not that I wish to deter your enthusiasm, but Josh Allen has been franchise tagged and AP himself said they would not be big spenders

If Peters likes a player he should collaborate with Quinn on how he fits, then get the player. Given the state of the division is every reason to believe that they can put a division winning roster together. All four teams have new defensive coordinators, two have new offensive coordinators, and And the two division leaders from last year fell apart And are rife for internal strife.

You make valid points. But he's clearly better than what they have now and this draft class is weak at a position that usually takes a year or 2 to develop. I don't know which other TEs are available but this seems like a risk worth taking.

Not sure about Henry but I'd make a run at Fant as he might just be coming into his prime years.

Unpopular opinion incoming...
Our running backs are mediocre at best.
The teams last RB with a 40+ yard run is Guice.

Robinson does a good job of getting hard yards but doesn't really make anyone miss or go for big gains.
I would sign one of the better backs to help the rookie QB out.

Hard to argue that. I'm good with letting AG walk. Tony Pollard would be a nice complement to BRob, but there are a few decent RBs out there.
