[quote=EARTHQUAKE2689;1360335]Which ones are injury prone, or past their primes, or didnt live up to their potential[/quote]

Ekeler averaged a paltry 3.5 ypc last year and had 628 yards and got hurt. But if he is used just as a 3rd down back then that's probably good.

Ertz .. always hurt, past his prime. Hoping we finally draft a true Y TE.

Wagner.. past his prime, can't run anymore but is still a beast in the box. It's a passing league so I would expect him to get exposed in the passing game. I remember Gibson toasting him when we played Seattle. Should have done more of that but EB is an idiot.

Fowler... never reached his potential but I like this one. Low risk, high reward.

Mariota... terrible. He's a effing quitter and I would never sign a guy like that. Plus he sucks. Sam has way more upside.

The rest are pretty good. I'm not gonna look at everything through my Commanders glasses. I don't hate all the signings. As I said I like some, some I don't. For the most part I like what Peters is going, gutting a bad roster.

[quote=skinsfaninok;1360344]Saw a stat that had Eckler at 44 TDs since 2021... that leads the NFL.. Regardless of what we think, he's got a nose for the endzone.[/quote]

With RB's, especially when they get in their late 20's, you have to look at it year to year. You can judge him off what he did in 2021 or 2022. His production fell off a cliff last year. Plus he lost 4 fumbles.

To get this many top quality starters and role players this early gives this coaching staff a ton of room to plan and build their vision.

These moves aren't the end of the plan, they are clearly foundational moves for building a strong competitive franchise.

Sam Howell traded to Seattle for pick swaps

Re: Commanders 2024 Free Agency Thread
 

“[url]https://x.com/adamschefter/status/1768368054809813264?s=46”[/url] Howell is gone.

We got decent compensation for him too.

Holy cow

[QUOTE]Adam Schefter
Another QB trade: Commanders are sending last year’s starter Sam Howell to the Seahawks in a pick swap, per sources.

Trade:
🏈Seahawks receive Howell, a fourth-round pick (No. 102), a sixth (No. 179).

🏈Commanders receive a third (No. 78) and a fifth (No. 152).[/QUOTE]

According to the pick value chart this is roughly the equivalent of the 95th pick. Late 3rd.

Good value.

78=200
152=30.6

230.6 total

102=92
179=19.8

111.8 total

+118.8

Pick 95=120

Re: Commanders 2024 Free Agency Thread
 

I really like that return.

Re: Commanders 2024 Free Agency Thread
 

I will root for Sam for the entirety of his career. Hope he is the second best quarterback behind whoever we pick at 2 for years to come.

Adam Peters continues to knock it out of the park.

628 rushing, 436 receiving. not sure on snap count, but not as bad as it seems. Other sites are reporting 2y/8.4m (4.2/per) vs the 11m (5.5/per) I've seen... I'm not sure which is right (or is that just incentives?), but at 4.2 it's a much better deal.


wagner is a 1-year rental, and I think it's fine for what we paid. he still had 183 tackles and 3.5 sacks last year.

DE has some old guys like calais campbell, jadeveon clowney, or, you know, chase young :P

It'd be funny if we did the hockey thing where we sign young to 1-year deals and loan him out to playoff teams for picks every year.
