    The All Things Terry Thread

    I’m on Team Blame Agent—McClaurin’s disappointment seemed sincere. I know from personal experience that even super smart people are not necessarily objective about their own situations.

    I agree that was the strategy, but not that it was misguided, because WR salaries did in fact increase dramatically. The problem is more that he was relatively old already.

    The league would never punish teams for fictional violations.

    The All Things Terry Thread

    I mostly agree with this post. If the team pays McClaurin full market value for the next two years, that’s something like $10M+ extra that would be better spent on the rest of the team going forward. For example, I assume the team will want to extend Tunsil, who is actually elite, plays a more...

    A lot less! Under $24M per year if I understand overthecap.com correctly. Along with the $28M projection for the 2026 WR tag that you cited, they list the cash outlay for his current contract at $19,650,000 for 2025.

    I don’t see the incentive for Peters to offer even top ten money for this coming year, much less the following years as you and others rightly point out. In particular, even if the two sides could agree on market value, the natural compromise would be somewhere between it and the <$20 M that...

    Washington Commanders 2025 Season: Expectations

    Decades of disappointment has me reluctant to make predictions. It’d be hard to top the magic last season, if only because it was such a surprise. But one thing I’m especially enjoying this year is the sheer number of athletic young prospects, like McCaffrey, Sinnott, Lane, Croskey-Merritt...

    The 2025 Free Agency Thread

    I would concede that Dallas prioritized aggressive pass defense under Quinn, but Jerry Jones and company skimped big time on salary for the defense those years, especially DT. Parsons is a game wrecker as an edge rusher but too undersized to be part of a stout run defense. For the most part, I...

    The 2025 Free Agency Thread

    In addition to ring chasers, it sure looks like the Commanders will be able to attract cap casualties from other teams. Especially at WR, like Deebo Samuel, even though it was technically a trade. He’s on a one-year deal, newly guaranteed. If he indeed “proves it” with JD5 and company, he’ll...

    The 2025 Free Agency Thread

    How is McClaurin at $23 M? 0verthecap.com says $19,650,000 outlay (with a $25,500,000 cap charge). Am I missing something?

    The 2025 Free Agency Thread

    After meeting the salary cap floor (89% over rolling four-year periods, if I understand correctly), teams can transfer unused cap space into the following year. So a smaller extension for McClaurin could help the team better afford Daniels down the road.

    ESPN: Execs, coaches, scouts rank NFL's top 10 QBs for 2025

    I agree that running the no huddle should be a bigger part of the narrative, but Daniels is still getting plenty of love nationally. We can expect him to rise even further in such rankings as his track record grows. Quinn is the one who is not properly credited, IMHO, for changing the team from...

    The 2025 Free Agency Thread

    Keim has reported on his podcast that the staff is excited about Kinlaw, which I would assume comes from Peters’s (or others’) direct experience with the player, not just the draft evaluation. I’d say that this sort of inside information is a general benefit of DQ’s attracting coaches from all...

    The 2025 Free Agency Thread

    The team gave Cosmi a long term deal, so I’m not worried about their willingness to spend on good players. But it’s appropriate for them to be careful about committing big money for a thirty-something, especially at receiver, because their QB is so good. There are plenty of other players in the...

    Random Commanders Thoughts

    And what makes sense for the organization might be to rely on their elite qb to make do with less expensive receivers in general, or at least not expensive 30-somethings. The two Browns illustrated the point this offseason already—Noah taking a modest deal, and Dyami cashing in elsewhere. In...

    The 2025 Draft Thread

    IIRC, Paulsen said on the TC podcast a little while back that he'd bet his house that the Commanders draft a RB this year, which you've been advocating all along--the drafting, not the house betting :) .

    The Salary Cap Tracker Thread

    I'm wondering how much future cap space has already been spent on signing bonuses. Is Cosmi the current leader in that respect? My guess is that current management has borrowed relatively little from the future in this way, which begs the general question of when (if ever) to do so...

    Who was the best free agent signing in Washington History

    As a longtime lurker on the other board, I’d like to preface my first post with appreciation for the regulars here. Unusually high ratio of signal to noise. The answer to the question, in my lifetime anyway, is Joe Jacoby.
