I’m not paying anymore for FA’s unless they are our own or cheap , stick to the draft.

Re: Commanders 2023 Off-Season Thread

Maybe lost in the Wentz 'news', but McCain is gone too. Not a major loss at all, but it probably means we need to think harder about a starting corner in the draft. I agree with pursuing Wagner or the like in FA and free up picks for OL and DB primarily. I for one hour they go with a starting CB if there at #16. There are a few candidates that should be there when we pick, like Porter. Enough OL talent to shore up the line, plus there are some good FAs.

All I know is the TE group as a whole has been unimpressive of late. Of course the LT injury and lack of capability at the QB position had a lot to do with that. Is either issue resolved? I'm not sure we know yet.
I think the lack of impact from the TEs has had to do more with Scott Turner's playcalling. With EB, I think you're going to see more involvement from the TEs.

If Philly "stuck to the draft", they would not have been in the Super Bowl this year. Same with KC. You have to use both the draft and free agency, and you have to spend.

Look at what picking up "cheap" free agents for our O-line got us this year. And LB...

It really doesn't make sense to have 40-50% of your cap go to one unit on the team, which is what it would be if they kept Young, Allen, Payne, and Sweat.

Yeah, that was probably a factor too, you are right.

Maybe they like the TE room as is, and maybe they think LT will come back and be the TE he was last year before he got hurt. I was just saying that if they don't, then he could be released and they could pick up another TE in free agency and have the same cap impact, but likely more production.

This is a unique case where you have 4 stud DL/DE, I don’t want to break this yet. I think building the OL through the draft and signing OL to affordable contracts is they way to go. They beat the playoff desperate cowboys with our shitty line, Howell was the difference. Getting some young solid OL in the draft is worth the gamble, they will get better.

Re: Commanders 2023 Off-Season Thread

I highly recommend listening to this Keim/Joel Correy podcast video. Really good cap info, Payne will definitely be tagged. Should be interesting what happens with Sweat and Young, good thing Howell will be the QB, saves a shitload of money and helps signs our FA’s.

Re: Commanders 2023 Off-Season Thread

Since the season ended it's been considered an almost guarantee that D Payne would be tagged. The question is, will he then be traded...?

If they can get a 1st or high 2nd, I would, then draft his replacement.

Re: Commanders 2023 Off-Season Thread

They picked up Ridgeway as well. I think I would still rather try to trade Payne. Use that $19 mil for more pressing needs like the O-line and back 7 of the D, AND pick up another draft pick or two.

Right between him and last years DL pic (Mathis) they should be able to fill the Payne hole; we are too rich in DL and poor in other areas. Need to spread the wealth
