Commanders 2024 Free Agency Thread

[CRedskinsRule]

Marriota was signed to a one-year 6 million dollar deal he's not anything more than a camp body that knows Brian Johnson's system. Howell is young and still on a rookie deal it''d be ridiculous to trade him for anything less than a third, simply because one good day as a backup will increase his value next year. Keeping three quarterbacks on the roster, two on rookie deals and one at six million Is good cap management given how injuries can go with QBs.

I don't think you give Mariota $6 million to be a "camp body". That has to be up there with the highest paid backup quarterbacks...

It's kind of high average as a one year cost, but not anything at allespecially when looking at total contract values.

BUT when you've got two other QBs on rookie salaries it makes that cap cost a lot less daunting

Yeah he’s clearly coming in as the backup… I don’t get the “what about Sam” nonsense. We paid JB $8m last year so yeah Mariota’s deal is right in line with backup money.

You haven't given it to him until he makes it to the regular season.
