e16bball Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 In what is becoming close to tradition, ESPN put out an article in which they named the “best team fits” for each of the top 50 free agents this offseason. Despite there being only 32 teams in the league — some of whom have basically no cap space, making them a “fit” for no FAs at all — not one of those guys was deemed to fit best with the Commanders. Among teams with greater than negative cap space at the moment, only WAS and DEN didn’t make the cut for any of the players. Regardless of what they do at the QB position, I think it will be an outright failure of management if they don’t come away with a player of that caliber in FA. Unless they go with another mediocre bridge, there will be a window opening up for this team this offseason — the window to compete right now with a star QB or the window to compete within a drafted QB’s rookie contract. Investing in a QB while failing to invest in high-level talent around him is relatively pointless. Perhaps they would have found WAS to be a good fit for some guys on the fringes of the top 50, which does seem more our style. Guys like Marcus Maye/Justin Reid and Alexander Johnson/Foye Oluokun didn’t make the list, and I’d be excited to land any of them for this defense, so all hope wouldn’t be lost. The WR market is top-heavy, and they probably can’t invest at that level, but I’d explore the possibility of a Jamison Crowder reunion. A good slot guy is a great safety blanket for QBs of all ages and experience levels. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they spent so much on our stud Curtis "50 cent" Samuel last off-season we probably won't be in the receiver market and good thing because there's only guys like Davante Adams, Mike Williams, Chris Godwin, JuJu, ODB, Allen Robinson, DJ Chark, Christian Kirk, Michael Gallup etc. Lord knows those scrubs couldn't help this organization plus we had to spend on Samuel to load the offense up for our 40-year old franchise QB who lasted all of a quarter. Can't wait to see how we "command" free agency. Personally I'm excited for our big signing of Trubisky that is clearly coming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paying Curtis Samuel that kind of money was always a bad idea, and it sure feels even more frustrating now. Their timing is just so reliably bad — of course we would jump in big on a gadget player, just in time to take ourselves out of position for the upcoming crazy good FA class. The chance to get Allen Robinson at the absolute nadir of his value, that’s one I’ll be resentful of all offseason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll sign with the Giants for a prove it $9M deal and well say it was too much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually fear him going to the Eagles. Devonta is terrific, but he’s not a big body guy that Hurts can trust to go get the ball in contested situations. When you have an inaccurate QB, those “possession” receivers can be important because they have such a wide catch radius and can use their bodies to create space in tighter windows, so the throws don’t have to be quite as precise.

ARTMONK HOF Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 (edited) Anthony Walker Jr would be a free agent I would look to sign to play MLB, unless Foyesade Oluokun is available. One less position we would need to draft. Edited February 22, 2022 by ARTMONK HOF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troublez Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 The reason ESPN has not listed us as suitors - is well because, no one wants to come here. They either have to come here - ala draft, or they don't. I would probably resign our guys and extend TMac instead of waste our time paying mediocrity a premium.

lavar703 Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Well I guess we’re going to lose Scherff next. I guess I get it to a degree but letting him walk for nothing is just crazy. I have no idea why he wasn’t dealt when they knew he wasn’t going to sign? We have to be the best at getting nothing back for talent.

lavar703 Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I get that it’s Aaron Rodgers but there’s no way I’m parting with assets for a 39-year old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
