I agree, Lucas played well as the swing and need him back

Agreed. Lucas definitely earned an increased pay so I wouldn't mind if we give him a pretty penny.

Well 6, but two 7th rounders. If Lloyd, Hamilton, or Sauce is there at 11 it is real hard to trade back. Those 3 are going to be day one impactful game changers.
Would depend on how far back and for what.

Wasn't Norwell one of the top guards available? He's also a very good player and he's durable. So what's the issue?

He was the highest paid guard in the NFL when signing for the Jags, coming off an All Pro season. Subsequently he has not so much as made a Pro Bowl and the Jags fans have obviously soured on him

The postive perspective for commanders fans, which as he has signed is the best way to approach it, was that I believe his OL coach in his All Pro year in Carolina is now the OL coach in Washington

Id rather have a really good G that is on the field than an all pro that isn’t. Its a win.

Every FA list I've seen has him listed as a top 3-5 option at guard. Clearly there's more to signing him than just the Carolina connection.

Per Ben Standing

Andrew Norwell's free-agent contract with the Commanders: 2-years, $10M with $4.7M guaranteed, per sources.

“Very smart, crafty football player,” Ron Rivera said of the 2017 All-Pro he coached in Carolina.

Great deal IMO. Better than paying Flowers 10 mill.

Plenty to complain about with this team. Getting a really good G on a great deal is not one of them. Lol. If you’re complaining about that you just wanna complain.
