I don't know that I have any faith in whom they think wins competitions either. Man, severely scarred I guess 🤷

Well one thing to point (if reports are accurate) out is that apparently Heinicke was the 1st choice but he signed elsewhere.

We had one QB on the roster they signed Jacoby for back up money this isn't CW where we gave up picks and paid him starter money.

No one on the Commanders is saying we found QB1, still need to get a 3rd guy and have them compete.

I much rather have Brisset then Lamar here tying up millions for years and he is not even a guy the new owners want.

JB is a good pick up for you guys.

Breaks down to 37.5 for 3 years each, 112.5. He earned it.

Dead Money
Name Cap Number
William Jackson III $9,000,000
Landon Collins $5,025,000
Bobby McCain $2,800,000
J.D. McKissic $2,000,000
TOTAL $18,988,157

That’s a lot of wasted cap this year.

Wow...that's a nice chunk they're still paying for Collins! Still getting screwed by Bruce.

Dave Gettelmen did the same thing to the Giants.

Yup and Ron matched it with Will Jax. I think we are done with everyone after this coming season on this list.

But 2 players i think that still could be on the chopping block is Roullier and Logan Thomas. I’d keep both, but Roullier needs to be renegotiated. I’m not sure is Gates is a better center than Roullier when Chase is 100% healthy, but of course that’s the problem

If you read Keims tweet where he said they were trying to resign Taylor he also said they believed Brissett would get better options/more money elsewhere. So sounds like they just didn’t think he might be an option- in other words they got who they wanted at backup and it wasn’t necessarily Taylor is how I read it.

Hopefully SH runs away with the job, but I feel pretty good about JB stepping in if needed. He’s solid and has a legit NFL arm.

Exactly. Priority number one for any quarterback…. Can throw the ball (consistently) over 20 yards without it looking like he threw a balloon. Yes he is a scrapper, yes he has heart, yes he has guts, yes it’s a good story. But my God he is the definition of a noodle arm.

Per Keim:

Skins still in the market for both LB and RB, but will wait until the later round of Free Agency

The guy who would fit well: Jerrick McKinnon. Played for Bieniemy; mutual respect; good experienced third down RB. The ? Is the $$. Why they’ll wait to see where it goes. If no signings, draft later.

McKinnon is a beast, I think he’s better than JD

Why a RB? Are Patterson or Williams considered third down/pass catching backs? I feel like the rb room was solid last year? Can think of a few other holes id like to plug than rb? Maybe EB looking for something particular we don’t have now.

I think JD was the 3rd down/pass catching back, but he was injured and now he's gone. I heard somewhere that McKinnon could be in the mix. You got the Robinson/Gibson as main backs, McKinnon as the 3rd down. So either Patterson or Williams may not be around.
