Is there a good vet option that would happily come in knowing we have no OL?

And it makes me think there's a trade of picks coming, maybe QB at #2 then trade back up to grab LT in rd 1? Or there's a vet LT they've got their eyes on, if not talking to already, they're confident they can land.[/QUOTE]


No reason to get rid of Howell unless they can get something like a 3rd for him. On a cheap rookie deal and it isn’t as though we can carry only 1 QB on the roster.

If we can re-sign Brissett, I'd absolutely trade Howell to the highest bidder.

Brissett and Maye/Daniels with an extra pick to draft another possible starter, works for me. Hell, could even use that pick (or a later pick now available ) for a 3rd developmental QB.

Re: 2024 Commanders Off-Season Thread
 

I would at least explore whether a trade down to 3, 4 or 5 could net a significant increase in picks, If it could then I might take the best left tackle at 3,4 or 5 and then trade back in to the first as high as I can with a few second round picks to get a qb.

The Pats cut JC Jackson. Was a once excellent CB who is only 29. Does anyone think he is worth taking a look at?

Absolutely. CB is a huge need on this team.

If they are not concerned which QB they take they could certainly trade down to 3 if the Patriots are desperate for a particular guy , then you are in the MHJ zone and if the Chargers fancy jumping over the Cards to get him you could move down to 5 and still get the 3rd QB, but that is a gamble, but you may also be able to persuade the Cards to move up one spot to make sure they get MHJ if they think the Chargers are serious.... the possibilities are endless which is what makes the draft so addictive for fanbases.

Re: 2024 Commanders Off-Season Thread
 

My thoughts too. At least talk to him if you think the film gives you cause for interest. But if his ego gets in the way of his performance (I'm too good for this team), then thanks but no thanks.

Re: 2024 Commanders Off-Season Thread
 

I don't think howell is going anywhere, the indications so far are that they like him. I wouldn't spend the money resigning Brissett; I'm also not sure he'd be interested in competing for #2. Brissett played up to his contract last year, and is a solid backup, but howell is way cheaper and already under contract (and it's not like we're going to the superbowl).

Re: 2024 Commanders Off-Season Thread
 

I'd definitely keep Howell as a young and affordable backup but I'm not sure how the dynamics would play out if we drafted Maye. Maybe Peters is looking to sell Howell to the highest bidder for a draft pick.

Howell could still be good someday, he just needs to ride the bench for a couple years. Lock himself in the film room and don't come out until he can identify every single defensive look.

Same can be said for this years QB class ..There is not one QB coming out of this draft that would have had success on last years team ( I think the new regime is starting to realize just how bad this team was coached and especially EB offense.. not saying we shouldn't draft a QB but Sam was never given much chance at long term success.

Re: 2024 Commanders Off-Season Thread
 

Didn't Maye respond to the question about being drafted by us (and sharing the QB room with SH) with something along the lines of 'why would it be a problem?'.

Looks like Kam Curl will be a FA.. honestly not a huge loss. He made very little impact last season. He’s a solid Player but is he worth 15M a yr? No

Cowboys save $3M by picking up Parson’s 5th year option but designating him as a DE. Seems like the kind of thing that might not go over well, although he does seem to be used that way in significant measure.

I would bring him back for the right price.

But [URL="https://twitter.com/KCurl_2/status/1765121568206643413"]he posted this[/URL] on his Twitter yesterday.

Maybe the coaching staff wants more ballhawks in the secondary - in which case he would be gone.

He's a good player, I'm sure someone will make him an offer he likes. I was hoping he'd come back if he didn't find the market to his liking but if the coaching staff is ready to move on so be it.

Re: 2024 Commanders Off-Season Thread
 

Will be interesting to see the contract Kam gets.

He’s a good player but we have more pressing needs than safety

Re: 2024 Commanders Off-Season Thread
 

I think they might be targetting Kearse in FA, the safety from the Cowboys, as that would be the quickest way to get the defense on track. If that is the case then Curl would be surplus to requirements.

Re: 2024 Commanders Off-Season Thread
 

He's a goodp layer but when has he made any legit big time plays? I can't recall one last yr

Re: 2024 Commanders Off-Season Thread
 

I was hoping to see what he would do with this staff, but I trust that they will bring in the players they need for the defense they want to run. If he fits the bill, I'm sure they will try to bring him back. If not, or the price is too high - sayonara.

Me too, instead of being asked to play 5 positions, how would he do just playing one? I suspect they looked at the film and decided if he's affordable we'll resign him, but there's nothing he's shown last year that justifies top money, let alone tagging. Just niggles at me thinking are his best years to come and if so, are we throwing out the baby with the bath water. OTOH if they draft a replacement that is just as good if not better, then we've saved some cap space for use elsewhere. Who'd want to be an NFL GM? 🤔😁

Khaleke Hudson to the Saints. He never seemed to be able to get PT beyond special teams.

Our LB situation is so different - Davis is the only holdover I think. And it had only one direction to go.

The OL, LB, DE, and QB positions will be entirely or nearly entirely made over. Crazy. Cosmi isn’t wrong.

Secondary needs a makeover too. If Forbes and BSJ aren’t correctable with different coaching it will be an entire one….we should come away from the draft with a Corner and Safety.

Can’t disagree although coaching was so bad I have to think they could be a bit better, whereas the OL and LB spots in particular had very little talent last year. This draft is supposed to be deep for OL, QB and CB, which is a relief given the depth of need.

It’s hard to overstate how bare a roster Rivera left behind. Like Cerrato level bad.

He certainly has a good pedigree.

2 things came to my mind
1) Is there a reason he's not advanced up the league office ladder (he's been there a while)? Is this therefore a sideways/change of scenery move for him?
2) Someone should proofread these releases better - "Gardi is married to his wife, Michele, and they have two children Chase and Grayson." OK, it's picky, but who else is he going to be married to other than his wife? 😁

I would draft a CB in the top 4 rounds every year personally. Safety should be a priority as well probably. Team has so many needs.
