    The 2026 Free Agency Thread

    I don't see what would have been sacrificed. The $25m cap space last offseason turned to $50m cap space this offseason. What change would have made the team worse than it was last season? Would it have cost the team Jonathan Jones' 1 year rental?

    The 2026 Free Agency Thread

    Peters' first season isn't getting dismissed. But Peters' GMing job is defined by his whole career here. Not just his first year. Peters got a head start year 1. He squandered that head start in year 2, and I fear that he still isn't going to match his starting pace this season. The other teams...

    But that offensive group is exactly what made the plan go so poorly. The entire offseason, the team's argument for not paying Terry was that he's getting old and with age, he's not going be the same player he once was. They doubled down on that by refusing to give in, and they could not have...

    You don't think any of them could have been better than Robbie Chosen and Chris Moore? Not a single one of them? The WRs whose only value is that they could run routes. They couldn't have jumped over a bar buried that deep beneath the ground?

    I know it wasn't a wall-to-wall buffet. That's why what I have been asking for is so sad to me. I haven't been asking for a guaranteed hit when looking at it from hindsight. I am stating that the team should have tried any of those players rather than sitting on Chosen, Moore, and a Michael...

    I don't understand your dual point approach of "Rivera crippled the team, it's going to take over 3 years to fix it" and "AP hit the lottery year 1 and that's it. The summit has been reached and the rest still haven't reached it yet. Stop looking at what they have done for other 2 years". AP...

    Or he could have used the entire previous year to do something besides signing only Deebo (yes, he got Tunsil and Connerly. Sweet. But the acquisition of 2 linemen should not have blocked out the full offseason schedule for doing anythng else). But Rivera sucked 2 years before that, so that...

    The 2026 Free Agency Thread

    Taking a step back from the "is fixing one position group a year a good plan" debate, I am still stunned that so much of the fanbase and a still vocal part of the media look at the playmakers on offense, the DBs on defense, and when shown a 50m cap surplus, their response is "don't even think...

    (New Poll) The Washington Commanders Brand 2.0: Beer Drinkers and Hail Raisers

    Plus, there's already been proof that removing a name doesn't change what people do. Not only did they get rid of the senators name, they got rid of the whole team altogether. And would you believe it? People are still becoming senators. All these name experiments that Washington is subjected to...

    I guess they found a UDFA they were really impressed with and needed to make room. If it were Mason Foster, I'd assume it's because he isn't fast enough to get out of the parking lot before training camp, but he shouldn't be facing those same difficulties. Maybe an XFL team was pounding the...

    Talking more about the media power rankings, I think that they also make a decent measure of hype rankings. Hype isn't always deserved, and I doubt NFL players are devotedly checking power rankings through the season and offseason, but the hype a team or player receives can influence where a...

    The Front Office: Adam Peters and Roster Construction

    Those are indeed questions for them. Unfortunately, we already have the answers for this team. We go 4-12, give or take a few broken bones. Unless the brand new OC is able to do more with this offense than Kliff Kingsbury could get out of his handpicked players. It would be frickin awesome if...

    The Front Office: Adam Peters and Roster Construction

    I have a hard time thinking that new runningbacks are going to make NFL defenses stop blanketing the short field like they did last year. That is where receivers come in. Chig can run faster than Ertz's speedwalking, so that can help open up the field a little more. Having 2 hopefully healthy...

    I will loudly decompress my lungs if Jennings walks and the the first tweet after the announcement is "Washington had an offer and it was a close second"

    I hope so, I really do. But even if Williams pans out immediately, one freak injury puts the team back at square one. I know it's impossible to have loads of quality at WR on every level of the depth chart, but right now, the impression I have is we have 2 effective receivers, a TE, and then...

    Our WR depth has gone from Terry and a couple of 3rd and 4th round picks to to Terry and a few 3rd and 4th round picks. I hope that SIP the others are right that Williams can hit the ground running, but I still think it's incredibly foolhardy to trust the entire receiving corps to Terry, a...

    What are you reading?

    Finished a couple more books since the last time I posted here. The first one was Empire of Silence, probably a stereotypical sci-fi novel when compared to others. Lots of inspiration from Dune in my eyes in terms of world building, but in this one, the main character tries to escape from his...

    I will reserve judgement on his name until later, but Fat Rob makes me think it better that nobody has "fat" as part of their nickname.

    The 2026 Draft Thread - 1st Round - 7th overall

    Burks is going to have to stay healthy to contribute. The Commies got burned by relying on a usually unhealthy WR to stay healthy for more than 1 season. Burks playing well for a whole season would be a surprise, not an insurance plan.
