Wasn't he a former 1st round pick or did I dream it. Lots of cornerbacks on the roster right now, less pressure to draft one?

No terms announced yet but this signing may signal the end of Cole Holcomb in Washington.

Some good stats from Standig:

@BenStandig
Barton, 26, had 136 tackles last season with the Seahawks while playing in all 17 games (11 starts). Only started 4 games over first 3 seasons.

Getting some LB help now, nice!

Seems like we def came out aggressive with a plan to go after under the radar guys at areas of need. We didn’t need to be big spenders but needed to fill out the roster

Being able to pick up the CB too on waivers helps fill out that room with Danny Johnson now coming back as well

Can we sign a Kicker please.

Re: Commanders 2023 Free Agency Thread
 

Great day of signings, nothing extravagant, just solid players. Cody Barton is an animal, let's see if Dantzler rebounds to expectations.

2019 3rd round pick, seems like he's been healthy, good signing IMO, this squad still depth AND improvement IMO, but no need to overspend here, the OL needs fixing/overhaul.

Dantzler seems like a potential sleeper solid signing, ankle injuries aren't usually of the lingering kind, so he should be back 100 %.

Re: Commanders 2023 Free Agency Thread
 

[quote=EdmundDorf;1339248]Plays C/G/T , Ron loves position flex.... starter? End of Roullier?[/quote]

Hopefully not a starter. Flexible but probably not good enough to start.

Re: Commanders 2023 Free Agency Thread
 

[quote=GridIron26;1339275]I like those moves, the Oline is weakness and we are moving swiftly to fix it.[/quote]

Well if they are the primary starters it will still be a weakness.

Not really probably as good as we had last year.

Re: Commanders 2023 Free Agency Thread
 

For the first time in a long time, I actually feel like we can go into the draft without a glaring hole on the roster. Yes QB is an issue, but after today’s approach…we plugged the needs. We have options

Now let’s hit the draft get best player available

What???? He was great for the Chiefs last year.

It is a huge improvement at RT. He improved at RT as the year went on and had his best games in the playoffs and SB.

I agree. It may or may not be a glaring weakness at qb. Glaring weaknesses right now are mainly depth. ILB, oline still. I am not a fan of Leno. Kicker. If Howell pans out and Chase rebounds we could be pretty pretty pretty good.

I would draft a LT and replace Leno who is on the hook for $9.25mil draft an ILB, G and CB. Fans are going to love Barton, he’s a tackling machine.

Yeah but depth is best served by getting hungry young draft picks who want to learn. We got a full stable of picks, let’s find the right guys.

Seems like it. Keim reported that the team and Holcomb weren't even close in the contract negotiation. I think the ideal scenario is Holcomb resigns with us after he tests the market and realize that he wouldn't get as much as he hoped. Barton alone is not enough, we will need Holcomb or other LB.

The #Falcons are signing former #Commanders QB Taylor Heinicke, per me and @MikeGarafolo. With plenty of starting experience, Atlanta adds a veteran to their QB room.

I hope we can find a good IPA to be the backup in 2023.

Re: Commanders 2023 Free Agency Thread
 

John Keim on Twitter

Got a few questions on where Andrew Wylie will play. Was told he'll play right tackle with Sam Cosmi shifting to RG (he's been told). Cosmi has maintained he's fine at either spot, just wanted to know which 1. Gives them an athletic G inside, good run blocker.

Re: Commanders 2023 Free Agency Thread

For the #Falcons and Taylor Heinicke, it’s a two-year deal worth up to $20 million, per source. Atlanta has said Desmond Ridder is the starter, and that's top-end backup money.

Looks like a good deal for him but as usual need to wait to hear what the guarantees are

Re: Commanders 2023 Free Agency Thread
 

I really hope Cosmi can put it altogether at RG. He is a great athlete, he should be able to do it. Signing Wylie almost was like getting 2 starters. Right sight of the line should be a marked improvement. That's nice to have that done before the draft.

Time to add a LG and LT in the draft. Let Gates/Draft pick compete for the starting spot. Then have the other guy be the swing G (who would start if either G went down or C, because Gates would bump over). Same thing at tackle. I would imagine Leno starting if we draft a LT anywhere other than the 1st round, which I don't see us doing with adding Wylie. Can't wait for the draft, it's our super bowl (2nd super bowl if Snyder sells).

Wow Henicke really took advantage of his opportunity here. I’ll be pulling for him in the ATL. Falcons, much like us here, have decent personnel on Offense.

Good for him, from sleeping on his sister's couch to legit NFL backup. Great story.

Re: Commanders 2023 Free Agency Thread
 

Kinda hate to see him go. He was at least fun to watch and the perfect backup. I'd rather have Taylor than Andy Dalton.
