[quote=Chief X_Phackter;1314705]Carter to the Chargers. Would have liked to have kept him.

Me too. But congrats to Carter. He represents everything you want from an underdog to be successful. He exceeded his pay grade for us. I hope he sticks in the league. An easy guy to pull for.

At the same time for us, would have been happy to keep him, but not a huge concern.

I feel like we'll extend McLaurin, Samuel will be healthy, and we draft Olave at 11.

We had The Posse and now we will have The Buckeye Bandits.

Note - Last year, lots of pundits were surprised (and my non-pundit self) that Olave went back to OSU last year.

FO has done a good job of finding useful cheap FAs like Carter.

Just hope the percentage of good finds continues and we continue to get good production from the FA depth guys.

Carter checked 2 boxes for us, hopefully we find a replacement.

The #Commanders and K Joey Slye agreed to terms on a 2-year deal worth up to nearly $5M with $2M in guarantees, source said. One of the top kickers, Slye made 92% of his kicks last year & excelled on kickoffs.

Re: 2022 Commanders off season thread part 1
 

Good news. Important signing. Hope he can continue that success. We definitely need stability at the kicker position.

Re: 2022 Commanders off season thread part 1
 

Nice, Slye did a good job last year

Washington Commanders announced that social media influencer Katie Feeney will be the team's first-ever “Commanders
Social Media Correspondent.” The partnership is believed to be the first of its kind in the NFL.

Social media influencer. I am starting to feel like an old crank, but how about delivering a good product on the field and letting that do the talking? (Geez, I am a few keystrokes away from "get off my lawn").

I agree. I get having social media presence...but this is weird. It's not like the clever and funny responses on Twitter and other platforms. Taco bells and Wendy's social media comes to mind with quick funny responses. This is a tiktok personality. Found this on some wiki lage.

"Katie Feeney is an American TikTok Star and Social Media Personality who has a net worth of $1 Million. She is popularly known for uploading dance, unboxing, DIY, and comedy videos on her TikTok account."

This is what jumping the shark looks like.

I’m not as negative on the social media influencer as you guys are. This is designed to reach out to younger generation on their platforms. It does nothing for me personally but I don’t see how this hurts. She has 6.8 million tik tok followers and 2.2 million subscribers on YouTube. She is from Maryland and a fan of the team. You want to grow a younger and female audience this is not a bad attempt.

Just seeing the word "influencer" grinds my gears. I have nothing against any particular one, but as a whole, yuck. I'm probably just jelly because a lot of them make a lot of money for taking pictures of themselves lol. Bastards.

I don't know. I get it...but I hate it. I hate the whole "grow the brand" moniker that's always thrown around. More worried about fluff than product. And it seems that's just how business is done nowadays. It's not necessarily about a good product, more about the packaging the stuff comes in. I don't think I'm expressing it correctly, though.

Re: 2022 Commanders off season thread part 1
 

Looking cute and getting Tiktok views is how teens get attention from each other and when they all see Katie wearing Commanders stuff in her TikToks it slowly makes the Commanders brand a little cooler in the minds of those teens. And those teens eventually become the 25-44s that spend money.

Nothing would make the new brand stick quite like winning, but the business side is doing what it can. Winning is probably too much to ask for this fucktard organization.

Re: 2022 Commanders off season thread part 1
 

I don't understand Tik Tok. I have never been on it and will never go on it. A bunch of idiots on there doing dumb shit for money. And these so called influencers? lol. These young kids make me want to vomit but I do respect the hustle. Get your money, even if some of them makes fools of yourselves doing it. I know if all this shit was around when I was young I'd be all over it. Some of the crazy shit me and my friends did would be getting millions of views.. We all laugh about it when we get together.

Re: 2022 Commanders off season thread part 1
 

Tik Tok is so stupid, I agree 69 I'll never ever get on that shit. I know grown ass adults that have accounts. Its embarrassing
