Re: Commanders 2024 Free Agency Thread
 

[QUOTE=KI Skins Fan;1359811]We have a ton of cap space, so why wouldn't we add a young star or two now to anchor our team? Josh Allen, for example, is a 26 year old Pro Bowl Edge. Pay him the money! He likes money, I assume. To me, money trumps a warmer shower room any day.



Also, are you not listening to what our new GM and HC keep telling us about not rebuilding but intending to win now? I believe them, so I say let them over-spend to beat out the other teams for FA's they want.[/QUOTE]If Quinn wants a player, the FO should make every effort to get them. If Peters likes a player he should collaborate with Quinn on how he fits, then get the player. Given the state of the division is every reason to believe that they can put a division winning roster together. All four teams have new defensive coordinators, two have new offensive coordinators, and And the two division leaders from last year fell apart And are rife for internal strife.

[quote=punch it in;1359805]Throughout his career until 2019. Since then he has missed an average of 8 games a year. Missed 10 last year. Dude is toast. You want to bring him here to help with his knowledge of the offense make him a TE coach and save the roster spot.

It isn’t a huge deal, but I really don’t think the guy brings anything to the table.[/quote]

You make valid points. But he's clearly better than what they have now and this draft class is weak at a position that usually takes a year or 2 to develop. I don't know which other TEs are available but this seems like a risk worth taking.

Not sure about Henry but I'd make a run at Fant as he might just be coming into his prime years.

Unpopular opinion incoming...
Our running backs are mediocre at best.
The teams last RB with a 40+ yard run is Guice.

Robinson does a good job of getting hard yards but doesn't really make anyone miss or go for big gains.
I would sign one of the better backs to help the rookie QB out.

Hard to argue that. I'm good with letting AG walk. Tony Pollard would be a nice complement to BRob, but there are a few decent RBs out there.

Re: Commanders 2024 Free Agency Thread
 

I don't think you'd get much argument that our RB room could be better. Everything's on the table; the team was BAAAAD last year.

Re: Commanders 2024 Free Agency Thread
 

Difficult to be a productive RB room when you are last in the league in rush attempts per game.

Re: Commanders 2024 Free Agency Thread
 

We are more than good at RB. Gibson has been used wrong since he's been here. You put Gibson in Kyle's offense and he'd have a lot more production.

We had an idiot at OC who doesn't know how to run the ball or use Gibson in space. EB was the worse OC I have seen since I have been a fan, which is a real long ass time.

Coming into last year I thought our talent was pretty poor at RB. B Rob is good but limited. He’s not explosive.

I’m for added a new guy for sure but we need one with big play ability. I’d peak at the draft before spending FA dollars. If the Oline, scheme was set but we just needed more talent at rb coming into this year…then yes FA would make more sense.

Either way the RB room was bottom 3rd of the league last year.

Re: Commanders 2024 Free Agency Thread
 

Not a stretch at all to say our RB room is probably overrated. BR isn’t explosive and Gibson despite his talent just doesn’t seem to play up to what his perceived potential is, and then there’s the fumbles. I’d like to see more of Rodriguez.

BR had 4 fumbles last year too . . .

I dont think this draft class is weak at TE. I also don’t think that a guy on the sidelines is better than one on the field.
He has really good hands when healthy but is absolutely terrible with YAC and a non blocker so what kind of wisdom is he imparting to any young tight end?

Like I said though it isn’t a big deal at all. If he can stay healthy for 10 games and shows some productivity getting first downs that is great.

Neither do I, Punch. For those who want to see some very good TE talent in this class they should take a look at these players.

Brock Bowers - UGA
Ja'Tavion Sanders - Texas. Great talent. Big play machine. Comp: Shannon Sharpe
Theo Johnson - PSU.
Tanner McLachlen - AZ. Big. Catches everything. Good at yac.
Ben Sinnott - KSU. Great hands. Runs wild in the secondary. Comp: Chris Cooley.
Cade Stover - OSU. Truly does it all. Comp: Brian Mitchell because he plays so tough.
Jaheim Bell - More of an H-Back or FB in the NFL.

We could get a productive TE in this class if we want one.
