All these Adam Peters splashes, makes me feel like I have been watching Flipper reruns all day

mredskins · 03-09-2026, 02:28 PM

Guys guys , deep breaths let’s remember last year when Adam was able to pull off that over pay for Winslow

Keep the faith

Fans got used to Danny's spending splash over the years. Overpaying for talent that never amounted to their worth on the field. This is what it looks like when real GMs decide the talent and whether it's worth the contract.

I hear you but at some point you got take risk and spend , Kiem even said it too

What is Peter’s saving for ? Retirement

Mike Evans to 49ers. Linderbaum to Raiders for 81M 3yrs. Ouch.

We aren’t an attractive destination. You have a head coach who’s realistically on the hot seat. He’s going with first time coordinators.

That could be scaring potential free agents from wanting to sign here. At least the top tier.

That Linderbaum contract is insane -- 50% more than any other interior lineman, ever. Really dumb. Happy that we're not the team identified as making massive overpays (at least, not yet).

Yep, it seems we offered insane money for the top WR in Indy, 2m more, yet he says in Indy, yeah his brother is close, but that doesn't scream oh goody I get to play with Jayden Daniels and live in a disfunctional politically charged city for the next several years.
Not saying DC is a disincentive, but don't forget, we're currently at war too.
It's kinda a bad time to be selling move to Washington in general.

Of course if you live in a football only bubble, yeah it's the teams fault.
It may only be 5% of a factor, but it MIGHT be a factor at this particular moment.
NFL players are people just like us, with families and human concerns just like us if we were asked to move to a new city. It's not an easy thing to do.

But back to raw football what is going on? Wheres this aggressive free agency? Why no fruit with day one difference makers?
The one with the real answer is Alec Pierce.

Where did you get that from? I haven't seen any news regarding that offer. I find it hard to believe that AP would be willing to sign 2nd tier WR to a big contract that is normally reserved for 1st tier WR.

It's the Raiders. They have to pay well above premium to draw any talent.

We’ll finally something, thank you Adam

88Commanders00 · 03-09-2026, 04:36 PM

Yeah, we finally have a big signing.

88Commanders00 · 03-09-2026, 04:47 PM

We resigned Marcus to a 1 year deal for $7 million but he can make up to $11m with incentives.
