Commanders 2024 Free Agency Thread

[AnonEmouse]

There's also a few cut candidates that aren't FA's yet. Can the Chargers keep Bosa and Mack? Allen and Williams. Not saying 1 or even all 4 of those will definitely be available, but there are plenty of candidates that we could be eyeing up.

We need a really good Veteran Center. Connor Williams is who I am hoping is the first FA pickup.

There are some higher profile free agents out there, but lower key players I'm hoping we take a look at, two offense and two defense:

TE - Noah Fant
WR - Josh Reynolds

LB - Josey Jewell
Edge - Dorance Armstrong

I have always been in the camp that wants to hang on to Sam Howell. The 2nd pick could very well bust and he would be a good safety net. I do agree that he may top out at Baker Mayfield but you can do a lot worse until you find your guy.

I also really like the Dalton Schultz and center ideas. I won't pretend to know a lot about Connor Williams but they need a good vet center badly. I was sorry to learn that the FA market for OG looks like a lot of JAGs, I was hoping we could find a solid starter as guards in free agency are pretty cheap.

I suspect we'll only have 3 or 4 current OL still on the roster come camp, and only Cosmi starting. I would use the draft to load up on the interior and T as much as possible, but I doubt we get more than 2 or 3 starters. I agree with pursuing a vet C, but we need to also look at T in FA. There are some candidates. Likewise, a vet and a rookie TE make 100% sense. This is where I wished Howell was the man; we could turn that #2 into a bunch of very useful picks.

Signing a solid RT would be huge. Kick Wylie inside if the cap hit is too much and let him compete for LG with a rookie. They absolutely need to find OL in this and the next draft.

I think the Mayfield comparison is fair, maybe more than Fitz. But it also depends on coaching. I don't believe Mayfield was well coached until he got to Tampa, and it's probably too late to turn him into a franchise QB. Howell, on the other hand, might thrive with a good staff, and I'd suggest that's what he's got in Kingsbury's team. Time will tell, but I highly doubt Howell is going anywhere soon unless someone comes in with a trade offer we can't decline. If nothing else, he could be an ideal backup, and cheap for now.

Franchise tag period runs today through March 5th. Some definite potential names to watch for us.

[Chief X_Phackter]

Can't imagine we'll be tagging anyone.

I meant guys on other teams that hopefully don't get tagged so we can sign them instead.

I know what you meant.

Just saying it's not likely we'll be playing that game this year.

Of course we will. That's why team officials have made such a big deal out of the fact that we have a large amount of cap room.

There's really only one guy I desperately want them to sign in FA no matter the cost.

Bring him back HCDQ!

Mooby/Deion are really gonna love Cooper Dejean. Apparently lots of people will. He's like Troy Apke, but actually an elite football player. Looks to be a 1st rounder and definitely no worse than a 2nd rounder.

[CRedskinsRule]

So the salary cap is $255 million. That should put our effective cap space at around 90million

And interestingly per overthecap.com the top three teams with cap space are also the top three draft pick teams: New England Chicago and us
